Nope.

Just ask nicely. And if the agent says no, try again with a different one. Even before I had status, I’ve never had this fail as long as you’re polite and flexible, and never once was I charged. And thank them if they do help you.

Go on standby n try your luck.

If the flight has empty seats and you’re at the gate when it’s about to take off it’s usually no problem and shouldn’t cost a dime

You are currently posting as Manager 1

Wouldn’t do that. Seen multiple times, Try to get on an earlier flight, put on Standup, doesn’t clear n lose the original flight allocation as well.

I want to start organizing my money into "buckets" for travel, car expenses, and other savings. Ideally, I'd like to put a certain percentage of my paycheck towards each goal. Is there a way to do that without opening other savings accounts? I don't want to deal with fees. Is that my only option?

Best cards to get for points maximization? I currently have the CSP (planning on upgrading to CSR when travel resumes), BoA Customized Cash with Platinum rewards level (currently using my highest tier back on dining (4.5%) but will likely change to online shopping when I upgrade the CSP, and get 3% back on groceries), Amazon Rewards, and a Fidelity 2% Cash back.
I don’t drive and thus gas isn’t an important factor. Major spends are probably groceries, dining, and travel.
