Getting married next year and have big spend coming up, already have a CSR, might churn it next year for SUB. Have a Hilton honors Amex offer for 100K Hilton points with $2K spend, worth it? What other card should I get for SUB?

Do you have a trip in mind .. miles currency interested in ? No on Amex Hilton, get membership currency or multiple airline cards.. maybe Hyatt .. but again if you don’t have somewhat of a gameplan

I would get a 2% cash back WF 0% credit card and pay the huge balance over next 18-24 months with no interest.

My wife and I hit a few Amex business cards + chase ink cards and accrued ~1.1M points via subs during this process. Depending on your estimated spend, you may/may not find value in some of the Amex biz cards (min spend requirement is high).

Whatever you do, give yourself and your spouse the opportunity to play along & get referrals from each other for relevant purchases.

One a bit odd choice. Get southwest card. With the spend you get get companion pass and your first year domestic travel can be significantly subsidized with free companion pass. Happy to send referral

I am seriously worried. I am doing my co-op and my supervisor is not giving me an easy time. I am trying to do my best even with very little direction and this supervisor constantly harassing my about things like her not being able to use google meet or to remember passwords. I feel bullied and very anxious. I am afraid she can jeopardize my visa with a bad evaluation. I have been working at midnight, on Sunday mornings but I am human, I make mistakes, she just blames me instead of teaching.

For all questions related to saving/investing etc., here is a good guide.
