That's why I said for accenture

It totally is, especially for accenture where we can basically use our own credit card for everything vs corp card. I did the math and get about $2.2k a year in value from the card. I don't get how they make any money on it, but not my problem!

Worth is for the first year. 2x $300 travel bonus and whatever the points bonus is now. You'll make money from it the first year

Yes

A1 why wouldn't CSR be worth it beyond the first year?

@p1 it's not that it's not worth it after first year. It's that it's extra worth it first year because $300 travel credit rolls over by calendar year not statement year, so you pay $450 for statement year but can get $300 twice essentially making money even without the points

Every. Damn. Day.

$450? 0_o

First year is a no brainer because ou make money from it. Beyond the first year you have to consider if the fee is worth it and whether you travel enough to make it worth it over a no fee cash rewards card.

My American citizen 8 month old is on tourist visa in India; current stay runs out on June 7. Flying outside the country is a risk we don’t want to take w/COVID. Don’t want to overstay the visa either. So we applied online on eFRRO to convert his visa to X-1 so we can apply for his OCI. They didn’t ask for payment and message popped up saying watch your text/email for next steps. Anything else I can do?

Probably the antithesis of this bowl - but need some advice. This is for a house in a Southern metro. Built in 1960s completely remodeled in 2000s with some very recent additional remodeling of kitchen and bathrooms. Well kept house. The price will be nearly $1M, the same as something built in 2010+ with similar square footage (because a lot of the price is the lot, its a super expensive zip). Should I steer clear because of the age? Will it cost a ton in maintenance and utility bills?
