Delta has sent me an offer to open a Skymiles platinum AmEx and get 80K bonus miles. Annual fee $195. Worth it? (I already have five credit cards none have fees tho.)

Probably not worth it unless you really love Delta and put a ton of Delta spend on the card.

But more importantly...you have no cc with fees, i.e. neither Chase Sapphire and no Amex Gold / Plat? Step up your points game.

Yeah I fly Delta, so all work travel is thru them.

And on none-fee CCs, the ones I got offer different types of cash back which I’ve been more in favor of, than points, esp. the Amazon Visa 5% at amazon/whole foods and 2% restaurants which are my primary expenses. But you may be right, i should look into the Chase Sapphire at least

80k is two transcontinental flights or one amazing vacation destination, easily $1000 value

Take it, that's the highest they've ever done. Plus companion ticket, lounge access.

The fee jumps to $250 in January I believe. I had this card purely for the companion certificate but you don’t get it until your first renewal year. 80k miles is the highest offer I’ve seen them do. I’d get it

Not if you apply before 1/30

I’ve done an offer for a Skymiles gold with annual fee waived the first year and a 70k mile bonus. I don’t think the extra 10k are worth $195 but if you think the benefits difference makes up for that then go for it.

Hi All,

Im 3.8 YOE Software QA engineer, I have got offer in HPE and Qualcomm. Apart from salary i just wanna know which company has better for long term.
Qualcomm - Manual testing (wifi)
HPE - Cloud QA

Which role is good for my career and future scope (wifi testing or cloud). And which company is good in terms of culture and work life balance....i heard qualcomm has too much pressure (around 80% of the company) and on the other hand HPE has good cultural values. Please suggest...
