Hi fellow fish need some advice.

I'm planning a wedding and wondering if I should apply for new credit cards to maximize on points. If so, wondering what your recommendations are and or if there are new cards out there I haven't heard of yet. For context I probably have another 20k+ in expenses to pay still and my current cards are:

CSP
Marriott Bonvoy Boundless
Citi double cash
Random card (used to be uber)

St Thomas vs St John for snorkeling from the beach?
Any recommendations for these places - food, things to do, scuba diving tours / companies. My wife and I are planning on going for a week in mid-May.

Worth getting the Marriott bonvoy credit card with the 100k points bonus? Annual fee is $95. Already have CSR.

Any recommendations on seaside towns that would be fun for a 5-6 day stay within an 8 hour drive of Boston? Going next week, so not a place that's a ghost town in October.

Has anyone seen the changes to United’s loyalty program? Any thoughts on the PlusPoints or new qualifying rules?

Anyone managed to fly their parents down from India to US off late? Cousin’s pregnant, trying to book tickets for early Dec. trying to understand how entry here is playing out here. I know Qatar and Emirates aren’t operational yet for flights from India to US.

Does anyone have experience/knowledge regarding whether the different B4 deal analytics teams 1) work remote 2) still travel?

Is there travel often in Deloitte ARA? The job posting says 50% travel but that seems like a lot...

Are there any consulting firms with roles that require 20% travel or less?

Starting off my career as a tech adjacent generalist (strategy, project management, etc).

Nothing crazy specific, just what should I keep in mind early on?

What are the top consulting firms in the retail/CPG space?

Best consulting firms with best WLB? Do they exist? Young professional starting to think about where I'd like to work hard to end up in the next 5-10 years.

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.

Which consulting firm has the best 401k match?
