Does the MileagePlus Explorer card let me to pre-board before Group 1? I got it a couple weeks ago but I am still always in group 2 on my boarding pass

You can actually board before Global Services, generally while the previous flight is deplaning

No it gives you group 2

Grip 1 is platinum and 1K

GS goes before them

Even my lifetime gold only gives group 2 if I dont qualify for higher.

To much rif raf with priority boarding already.

Mangement?

Haha. Nope. Group 2 is Explorer card. Group 1 is Platinum (I think - I'm 1k and know I didn't get it at Gold.) And Global is for God. They'd get crucified by their frequent flyers. Bad enough that businesses can use Explorer card for their payables and balding guy in the Salvatore Ferraro's gets the 1st class to Singapore using miles over your global certificate upgrade.

I think the only ones that get to board before GS are the crew and military passengers. After that it's GS, pre-boards, then Group 1 onwards.

Only people that can board before me (Global Services) are military, disabled, and small children. Then it goes onto group 1, then group 2 including mileage plus cardholders.

It's a fair question. Chase markets the card as priority boarding, and I've seen plenty of newbies confused by the language

2 is priority, 70% of time group 2 can get a bag in the overhead. 3, 4, 5 it's fun tossed people's hopes and dreams get crushed

Stuck between 2 offers, which would you choose? Eventually I want to work in ML/AI or blockchain/crypto

Offer 1: Non-profit financial advisor, awesome culture, design process & ethos align with mine, but still beholden to some outdated backend systems. Basically won't be able to innovate for a while

Offer 2: Consultancy focused on spinning up startups in large corp. Seems like cool work but I know very little about the culture/ process. Very sales-y HR but haven't talked to designers yet
