At which point would u prefer the reserve over the preferred?

The Reserve is effectively a $150 annual fee after the $300 travel credit. Travel redemption is 50% instead of 25%. Priority Pass is a cherry on top if you have an opportunity to use it.

California tax question. I moved overseas in November 2020 establishing a rental agreement in a different country. I sold my California registered car in May 2021 (my ONLY California asset). In total, I spent ~36 days in California during 2021. I use my mother's California house as an address to receive packages and letters. I don't intend to return to California, as I want to buy a house in Texas. I have a potential $70,000 CA tax bill due to capital gains from a long-term investment.

Does this make sense? I'm trying to argue my case as I don't like the idea of losing two weeks, and I am approved. I cannot control the post delivery times...
