Personally, the $0 change fee and access to Economy Plus at booking would be worth a flight you can pay $150 for. Not to mention more miles earning and better upgrade chances

Can you just add stops? Not a United flyer, but each layover is an extra segment on Delta.

Either add 2 layovers to a planned trip or buy up your fare to B class. If you don’t have any planned travel left, I agree it’s worth booking a cheap RT

D2 I have 2 planned trips in December that I have not booked yet. Do I just go to trips and book a multi city trip or book a flight with a layover .. both are short trips.. newark to pittsburgh and newark to charlotte.

Book with a layover if possible, each leg counts as a PQS

I screwed up. I’m a newb and didn’t know how mileages work and my gold status w AA is about to expire. I travel weekly and idk whether I should fly w/o status or pay $400 to extend it. Thoughts? 😭

Need advice. Have some credit card debt that I’ve been working to pay off. Have made progress but want to lower it quickly. We have dual income, with a house (~$300k in equity), 1 kid and 1 on the way. I’ve looked into debt consolidation via HELOC but also have ~$80k in vested equity in my company that I haven’t touched. Get equity refreshes every year. Would it be smarter to cash out $15k-$20k of that to pay debt vs. a HELOC at ~5% given that will still require mthly payments

Hi, I'm an employee at a hotel chain who works remotely. I've been working remotely for over a year now and I love it! The company I work for is very supportive of remote workers, which is great.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.
