The lounge access is hit or miss with priority pass and usually restricted to certain lounges at certain hours (off peak). AMEX platinum is a bit better with this, but always a catch (need to be with that airline that owns the lounge, etc.)

$300 travel credit makes it effectively 195. Then you get it back (3x points X 1.5c) once you spend $4333 on restaurants and travel. No brainer.

^ said it pretty well. I have the Reserve after comparing the two. Plus you get added benefits, better redemption, access to lounges (I haven’t used that yet).

Amex Platinum or Black. JPM stole some top Amex people back in ~2011. I’d rather hang with the original instead of an imposter

Lounges are a miss. Never used. But if you live any sort of lifestyle $4.5k is easy to achieve and very accretive thereafter

These points aren't worth 1.5c. don't be a Shee p

All my six-figure salary consultant friends are ranting about how poor they feel right now because their IRAs/portfolios are down.

My partner and I are in the process of buying a PHEV that qualifies for the full non-refundable federal tax credit. We will both owe taxes in excess of the current $7,500 cap (will see if that increases with the new budget bill). If we both own the car (i.e. both names on the title), how do we manage filing for the tax credit when filing separately? Do we just pick one of us to file? Is there guidance on splitting the credit across owners? Does it matter what order our names are on the title?

Anyone knows the chances of location being changed after receiving the offer and getting tagged to a project?
