What are your best tips for traveling? I’ve found a few LS clubs in project cities, but usually only open on the weekends. I’ve had the best luck with Tinder/OkCupid (I date singles and couples)

I have just immigrated to worth, Illinois from the Middle East. I have 6+ years of experience (proofed by a certificate) from Four Seasons Hotel Amman. Can anyone recommend a 5 stars hotel with front desk supervisor vacancy?

What is everyone’s thoughts about Hilton? Just got asked to interview

This has probably been asked many times in this bowl - what’s the best hotel rewards program? I have the Chase Sapphire Preferred card and I’m a Southwest RR member. I travel maybe 25-30% of the time

First post? Ok I will start. My SPG nights for 2018 dropped from 101 to 91 after the merger.

Almost 4 weeks in and my status is still wrong. It was correct for the first ~1 day and then bumped down a level. Shouldn’t be hard as all my nights last year were SPG. This is ridiculous.

Help!! My bestfriend is doing two months abroad and was trying to fly into turkey when they told her she couldn't because her passport expired within three months.

She went to the US Embassay in Athens knowing she had a month left of traveling, and gave her an emergency passport and punched holes in her exsisting one. Now no country will let her in with her emergency passport.

Can her mom get her a passport in the US and ship it to her? Is there anyway around this?

Thank you!!

Anyone have any car rental hacks to get something other than a compact to show as a compact on the receipt? Traveling on federally reimbursable funds, so need to show a compact car. But hoping to get something nicer but not get flagged by the Bean Counters. Thanks!

I just got a new credit card. It came with a Priority Pass membership. I always travel economy, I hardly ever get lounge access. I got excited, until I remembered I can’t travel and lounges are closed anyways. :(

Best New Years trip for two

Just booked a trip to Denver from 12/18 to 12/24. Anyone else want to connect for a few laps? I have IKON, happy to ski whatever, prefer not to wait too long on a pow day.

I’m having a short trip to Seoul South Korea, in December and would love to connect people there. Hit me up! Let’s hangout!

Hey all! My SO and I (gay dudes) are looking to move to CO/UT for 3-4 this winter to be close to the mountains and ski every weekend (+ plan to take a few weeks off). We’ve been looking at Aspen Snowmass mostly. Aspen itself seems to be too expensive but we found some affordable places in Basalt and El Jebel. Any tips from the group? What’s the best mountain to be on if our budget is 3500-4000ish/month, need space to WFH, want to be within 30min from slopes and be able to live our gay life?

Any specific place where I can find good PM templates for like Project plan, release plan, product roadmap etc? Of course there’s a way to create plan from JIRA if thats your ALM software but wondering what everyone at FAANG is using

Everyone keeps saying that the real estate market is going to bounce back soon. At this point I'm more likely to believe that unicorns will take over the world

In my organization, most with my role are commission based. I make a set salary due to the firm I work for as an account manager/ coordinator for clients… I coordinate their enrollments, working with each groups HR department as to benefits and payroll purposes, and schedule our benefit counselors accordingly. I am finding that in most cases where I compare the voluntary benefits industry, I might be underpaid. What is an appropriate base salary for a position in which commission is replaced?

Hi fishes,

Has anyone ever been in a mostly platonic relationship? I don’t like to label myself much, but I don’t really like intimacy and don’t really like romance. Some people would say I’m asexual/aromantic, but unless that too is a spectrum, I don’t think I fit squarely into that group. As I get older, I’m realizing I’m feeling very lonely. It would be nice to find someone, but have it be platonic (any gender/sex). It’s weird, I know. It’s hard to articulate as well. Can anyone relate? 😭😭

Currently a senior interested in consulting but a mix of coming from a non target and requiring sponsorship has me losing hope. Any recommendations on how to proceed with recruiting? I've been told only MBB will sponsor entry level consultants. I have both VC and Consulting experiences through internships.

Hello Everyone, What is it like to work as an "IT Research Specialist" at Ford Motor Company?

Somebody please in tomorrow’s WPP Global Townhall meeting ask if they’re going to give us a cost to living inflation raise. A bonus. Gas cards. Anything. They are taking questions. I don’t have the balls. I can’t go through another meeting hearing them brag that WPP has earned millions and millions.

Why would you allocate COGs to R&D?

Sears may go officially bankrupt tonight. Time to liquidate those SYW points !

Pretty sure the answer is self explanatory but first year with real status. Does Marriott status reset Jan 1? For instance if I need 10 nights for Platnium am I SOL if I stay 9 nights by Dec 31?

Anyone with systemwide upgrades to sell on American Airlines ?

Question for any Reservist that managed to get your AMEX fees waived, how'd you do it if not on active duty orders?

Do AA 500 mile upgrade awards expire? I have used a decent amount of upgrades, but I still have 14 that I have been sitting for a about maybe 6-7 months. I do not see anything about them expiring, but I would not be surprised if they do.

I am hoping someone can provide some insight so I don’t have to contact AA customer service :)

New Delta Marriott deal - 2 miles per $1 spent. Anyone switching to earn miles?

Anyone knows how chase sapphire travel insurance works? I used the first leg of the trip but cannot return due to an illness. It is cheaper for me to cancel the return leg and buy and new one way.

Thoughts on the new Chase Freedom Flex?

I am AA Platinum Pro, for international travel on AA, is there extra baggage allowance or not? Weight wise or piece wise? Oneworld website says ‘yes’ and AA website says ‘no’

Does United tell you when you clear the upgrade waitlist or do yo have to keep checking?

On a credit file, do multiple credit cards from the same issue count as multiple accounts or is that issuer counted as a single account regardless of how many cards

Does Amex welcome bonus jail apply to all cards like platinum? Also any way to get out of it(or at least know you are denied bonus before you get a 5/24 chase hit on you)

Luggage delay claim question

I used Chase explorer to buy tickets for my vacation and luggages were delayed for a month. Per chase term I am entitled $100 a day for 3 days. But the claim agency chase used has been asking for airlines response, which has not came (2month+ now). I am concerned insurance will use this as an excuse to never compensate. Is there a good way to handle this situation?
TIA
