Does anyone try to stick to either uber or Lyft to earn points? Worth it?

Lyft 100% bc of points return with CSR

I check Lyft first for the delta miles, but if Uber picks up quicker, I go with them. My time is more important than a handful of points

Agreed. I do the same based off of time

Uber Black always. 4X points

I exclusively use Uber. It’s pretty worth it imo because I get to stack up $5 Uber cash and use it for personal

smart

Nah it doesn’t

Sort of, I use Lyft for rides in the $10-25 range to get the credit toward the $5 every 5 business rides. More than that and I think Uber gets you closer to the 500 points needed for a $5 credit. You don’t get anything with Lyft (except delta and Hilton points) under $10 so I use Uber for those too.

like

FYI -
Cutoff is at $25 assuming you're using a Corp Amex. Lyft $10 min includes tip so if it's $7 and you tip $3 it will count towards the 5 rides.

Lyft is totally worth it if you have the Chase Sapphire Reserve.

I was Lyft exclusive until Amex started the 2x points deal with Uber so I switched. If I could use my CSR I would’ve stayed with Lyft, but...

I don’t even have the uber app, Lyft all day erryday

I like Uber because the $5 rewards stack and Lyft’s rewards don’t stack

Did not know that! I’ve been Uber “exclusive” for 6+ months now which may be why I haven’t noticed

I've got an offer where the client mentioned they'll pay into a binance account in #crypto. I don't have much idea of #binance . I have the below queries
1. When I withdraw the money to my Indian Bank account, I need to show it as taxable income and is it a flat 30% ? What if I withdraw only partially?

2. I have an account in UK where I worked for a little time few years back. Can I move the money from binance to UK account? And how much is that taxable?

3. Is it safe to get paid in binance?

I am the world's worst flier. I hate flying so much and usually sit and cry the entire flight from fear and anxiety. Ever since I had my kid, who is now a teenager, it's gotten even worse. I am so afraid something will happen to me that will leave him without a mother. Yes, I know the statistics on crashes. It's not just that. It's the fact that I've had two superficial blood clots in my legs in the past (not DVT), had covid last year and really don't want to get it again (more in comments)

Just used a meaningful amount of AMEX points for the first time to buy flights to Greece for my wife and I. Emirates business class both ways for 2 people, 290k pts total or 145k each way for 2 tickets. Plus another 30k to get us round trip domestic connecting flights bringing the total to 320 points. This is on the 777 which isn’t the best business class product out there, but I’ve never flown international outside of coach and think it will still be worthwhile. Think this is an OK redemption?

Hi everyone! I have a Chase Sapphire Preferred card right now. I want to upgrade to the Chase Sapphire Reserve card.

I’ve heard it’s better to downgrade the Chase Preferred card to a Freedom Unlimited card and then apply for the Reserve card.

I have about 150k points on my Preferred card — if I downgrade to the freedom unlimited card will I get to keep my points? Will my points be worth the same for travel/pay yourself back? (I think it’s 25% more)

Any downsides/done this recently?
