Have the CSR but thinking about switching to Amex Gold + something for flights and hotels. Maybe one of the American Airlines cards? Any other suggestions?

Get:
1) amex gold
2) downgrade your csr to chase freedom product; then apply for csp and get that 100k points

Ah didn't realize. Yes it's a 4 yr cool off so you can't get the CSP for another 2+ yrs

Fwiw I hold both Gold and CSR. Gold pays for itself with the corporate discount and food credits

Alaska miles seem to be viewed as the best within the points min maxing community - maybe a good second card option?

I recently changed jobs and my new 401K provider - Principal has very limited MF investment options. My prior employer’s 401K was managed by Fidelity and provided me access to a range of MF options. I believe that the fund options are negotiated by the employer and provider? Two questions. First - I have not rolled over my previous 401K to the new one. Would there be any problems. Second - is there a way I could move my current 401K to another (precious) provider?

Leaving a company as a team JPMorgan Chase

Hello does anyone have experience or know of a case where a team or at least a group of people moved together to another employer.

For context we are a strong developer team that has been saddled with less than ideal migration with a vendor that is really not up to scratch and a big chunk of the team is not ok with that. So I wonder if there is a precedent of people just moving in bulk.
