Currently have a csr and have been contemplating downgrading it to a csp and replace it with a premium United airlines card (infinite or club business). I caveat that I'm no longer a frequent traveler (fly 1-2 times a quarter at most), but I do enjoy the perks that came with at least being a United gold member. Worth it?

Should mention that I generally try to fly United/star alliance

I’ve struggled with the same, best strategy I’ve seen is get silver via bonvoy titanium (easy enough to make it if you use a couple of credit cards) and live with that level of perks.

If you’re fixated on getting gold, then I assume you want a card for PQP, and quest sign up seems a better deal.

I strongly believe new hire onboarding should not sit in the HR/People Operations space but should sit in the HR Coordinator/HR Generalist space.
