I go to sleep so early on the weekends now. Like 10 or 1030. Anyone else falling into this pattern post covid?

The latest Democratic narrative is quite cute: Trump purposely gets COVID, to get cured by some magic potion not available to the public, to come back an American hero so he can get sympathy votes. Yo, you guys listen to yourself? Like pause and reflect. This is not going to end well for the left in November man

Hello Fishes,

I have got my L2 Dependent Visa stamped for the US through the Wife's organization and she has booked the tickets for the both of us in the next weekend. I am currently unallocated in TCS and seeking projects in the same US location as my Wife. Can I travel to the US just like that and then continue my search within TCS from there or do I need any approvals to even fly in the first place?

I am worried because of the time crunch and will be glad to hear some points on this.

The week of my wedding, my husband (PL SQL Developer 4 yoe) was laid off. That was a couple of weeks ago. Luckily I'm still bringing money in as a software engineer, but I'm looking for advice on how to support a partner who has been laid off. Ultimately I think we will be ok, but I know he's hurting / stressed / and could use a supportive partner.

Nursing is the only job I've had where I've wanted to quit every week. I always come back to it.

Why is education deemed more valuable on a pay scale than experience? Employers will pay someone with a degree and no experience a greater salary, than someone who has exhibited the experience. Understanding that the degreed person committed to school and finished, yet that doesn't diminish what the not degreed has committed to and accomplished in their careers. This has to stop!

Nothing infuriates me more than seeing cops pull people over at the beginning of rush hour on the Beltway. Out of all the times to do traffic stops, 4:15 on one of the nations busiest freeways is not it.

New to UR travel portal. I keep seeing that I will get 1.5x back here -- does that mean if I have 20,000 points originally, it becomes 30,000 points in the portal? (cont.)

Lyft driver delayed picking me up 30 min, resulting in me canceling my ride and asking hotel to call me a “yellow taxi” to get to the airport because it was 5am and all ubers/lyfts were 15 min. Specifically said yellow. Hotel calls me a private lux SUV and the driver got out of the car to handshake the man who called and said hi (honestly money couldve been passed). I then get hit with a $180 ride. Marriott website says taxi should be $65. Should I complain or let it go?

I don’t drive. Does that limit my activities if I am traveling to Hawaii ?

Got targeted for Amex platinum 100k. Is it worth it? Is there a higher targeted offer?
Considering doing it since no more personal card for BCG expenses. Also have CSR fwiw.

What other cards to add to my collection? I have AmEx Platinum and Chase Sapphire Reserve. Fly Delta so AmEx is handy for lounges. Use Sapphire for dining/travel. Should I add Chase Freedom Unlimited?

Chase Sapphire Reserve is not able to book a ticket for me on Air India because the flight is not showing up on their system. The flights shows up everywhere else including on Expedia, which powers Chase’s portal. Anyone had similar experience?

Heads up: Hilton is giving triple points during July if you use their credit card for booking. Good opportunity to make up to 54 points per $1. Time to stack up those points! Happy monday! :D

American airlines is so dumb. Was trying to purchase MCE seats for a long-haul. You can’t
purchase it online after check-in. And they can’t uncheck you over the phone. Good thing I fly Delta!

My international flight is delayed due to closure of Pakistan airspace. Going to miss my connecting flight (on a different carrier) . Can I apply for trip cancellation insurance with chase for this ?

Does CSR earn 3x points at bars on drinks?

💳Credit card help💳 Starting a new job in two weeks. The new company does not give a corporate card, so I get to pick my own. If things were normal and I was traveling / spending as usual, getting the CSR or AMEX platinum would make sense. But with things the way they are, what should I do? Work related expenses will be minimal, but Im moving/furnishing an apartment so personal spend will be decent. TIA!

Does anyone ever redeem Marriott points for gift cards? Is it worth it?

Anyone flown Copa Airlines Economy? Considering booking some personal travel on it using miles and wanted to see if it’s any good

I’m generally not a beggar but figured it was worth a shot: Does anyone have two United Club passes that are going to expire soon and you’re willing to share?

Which CC is better for sign-up bonus - Citi Premier 80K points or Chase Aer Lingus/Iberia 100K Avios points?

I churn somewhat regularly and am under 5/24 by 1. I think Citi's points are more valuable but maybe I should knock out another Chase card before I'm at 5/24 again, even though Avios isn't as versatile?

I have been searching for a travel card for months. I am a young guy who is looking to take advantage of credit and earn points at the same time. Cap One just released an interesting new premium travel card with a lot of seemingly good perks (Venture X). I also looked at the CSP and the Southwest Priority card. My girlfriends family has Southwest and swear by it, with companion pass being the differentiator. I am in the DMV area and have mostly flown Jet Blue or Southwest. Any thoughts on this?
