I have both cards. I normally use my CSR as I’m already getting SPG points by staying at the hotel and rather have the ability to use CSR points to book flights if needed.

They also have offers you can add to your card. A couple of weeks ago I received a 10 or 15% account credit of total bill just for using my CSR

Yeah it’s close then. The 1.5 redemption still isn’t enough but the 3x may be

Started at a big firm in July with high hopes- in the career path I wanted and I would be joining with other new grads.
After onboarding, it’s as if my team forgets about us every day. The training is non existent, there doesn’t seem to be any initiative to invest in new hires, my manager scolds me for not knowing enough yet gives no direction. I don’t want to waste time (colleagues mentioned it doesn’t get much better from here). Do I embrace the suck or look for other opportunities?

Curious if anyone else is or has been in the same boat. I started as an assistant at an entertainment law firm prior to passing the bar. Upon passing, the partner told me they would hire an assistant for me since I now became an associate. That was 1.5 years ago and I am still in the limbo of juggling my own workload + doing assistant roles for my supervisors. I have also had no increase in pay, which is a huge deal for me. Is this normal in the entertainment world? Any suggestions?
