Got that on a red eye from Hawaii having to work right after. Left a really good impression of United in me

It was Maui LA indeed

Be afraid

I used to hate United. But then I became silver and they kept upgrading me. I jumped to gold in no time from a fast track they were doing. Now I only fly United for the upgrades lol

I think that’s the catch - if you fly enough to get status beyond the first level, you’re located at or near a hub and there are other elites competing and therefore you get no upgrades. If you’re at a low volume location for United, like Seattle, your odds are much higher, but you probably aren’t flying with them as much to begin with.

Hi all,

I just got a job with Delta airlines and I had an accomodation request to work remotely as I am Immunocompromised. I provided all the neccesary documents to back up my request and letters and documents from my Dr. aswell. My request was denied because the team said they wanted me to have face time and one on one interactions with people from other team (which defeats the purpose of my request) because I have to limit those interactions to reduce the risk of infection. What do I do?

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!

New to UR travel portal. I keep seeing that I will get 1.5x back here -- does that mean if I have 20,000 points originally, it becomes 30,000 points in the portal? (cont.)

Since the Chase Freedom Unlimited gives 3% cash back on dining, does that mean you get more UR points that way vs. using the Chase Sapphire Preferred?
