Ugh I knew I spelled something wrong.....this headache is killing me .

Ey1 how is it having both? Too much to handle or not yet....

I tried cancelling the Amex plat but they won't pro-rate the membership fee. So I'm stuck with it, but they did give me a loyalty credit.

EY1 So I'll apply for the Sapphire and act like I'm trying to cancel my Amex plat and then get the loyalty credit? .....

Lol yeah I guess you can do that! Only reason to keep Amex plat would be for delta and amex lounges

Yikes I should look into this...can't apply too many cards this year cuz buying a property....

My partner and I are in the process of buying a PHEV that qualifies for the full non-refundable federal tax credit. We will both owe taxes in excess of the current $7,500 cap (will see if that increases with the new budget bill). If we both own the car (i.e. both names on the title), how do we manage filing for the tax credit when filing separately? Do we just pick one of us to file? Is there guidance on splitting the credit across owners? Does it matter what order our names are on the title?

Hello everyone!
I recently found out that I was being paid less than everyone in the team (more than 25% gap to more expe teammates, around 15% less than new hires)
We all had the same responsibilities, I consider I even had a heavier workload (talking in past tense since I very recently made an internal move).
Things to consider:
On a work visa
Non-white
Non-male
What would you recommend doing?
Keeping it to myself?
Speaking up? How? With who?

-TIA
