If you want a referral for Amex Plat, let me know!

Spend your points first

@K1: that’s good info! I think the biggest perk I’d be interested in is the lounge. None of the other stuff seems useful (Walmart+, Saks, etc)

I did this and got the amex platinum this past year. I still prefer CSR to Amex but I mostly did it to get the CSP sign up bonus (downgraded for a freedom brand and then applied for CSP) and will likely go back to CSR. Have has cancellations and delays and Chase handled way better. I will say Amex lounge is amazing and I do get value from my amex but I think service at Chase and coverage is better. Feel free to DM me any specific questions! Or if you don’t already have a referral and go forward with amex, id love to refer you💁🏽‍♀️

Can they pull the offer due to this? Should I tell them before we advance further?

I would like to hit fire between 40-50. Currently 27, 185k total comp (125 for me and 60 for partner). Like my job don’t hate it don’t love it. Does an MBA make sense?

Would have to finance the whole thing myself. Current net worth is 140k. Thoughts?

Got the rent negotiated to under 3k + free amenities for a year (gym, pool, etc.). I’m afraid rent will atleast go back to the original price (+5%) and then some. The building has some sort of rent control but that’s predicted to go away in less than 1 year as per the lease. The legal rent limit is way higher.

Would love some perspective on renewal experience after 1 year. TIA.
