Got a 150k Amex plat offer. Question for those who use it frequently. If you get Hilton Gold, are you better off booking thru Hilton at that status or better off getting the 5pts/$ booking thru Amex travel portal?

Honestly Hilton Gold isn’t worth all that much, particularly if you are booking a US hotel. Also, it’s very possible to add your Hilton number after the fact.

The Hilton gold status isn’t worth much. I’ll focus, if you can, on booking FHR hotels via Amex travel. The benefits there can be quite beneficial: free breakfast, late check out, $100 for incidentals, etc.

So with the 80% bonus do you get 18pts/$ of Hilton valued at 0.5c vs 5pts/$ of ~1c?

Does anyone has a Amex platinum 150K plus 200 credit offer referral?

Hello All,

I hope everyone is doing well.

Is anyone here, who switched company from India to Germany?
Do they consider only German speaking candidates or English speaking is ok for them?
Also, anyone have experience with EU Blue card.
Can we directly apply for EU blue card from India if there is a job offer? Anyone got visa sponsorship directly from German employer?

I have seen most of companies need German speaking candidates.
