Hello Bowl,

I need 43k Marriott points to close the summer vacation with my partner.

Would you be willing to sell them to me?

Thank you!

I had an interview the week before Christmas and New Years. I know there is usually a holiday slump - when should I reach out about an update? It will be 3 weeks tomorrow.

Going to India from DCA (flights were cheaper) but I live in Houston. Flight from DCA is at 10 pm. Should I book my flight from Houston to DC the same day or one day earlier? Given the flight cancela.

ZS 🐠, how often are you at the office vs client site? I’m curious because I’ve heard they don’t travel much

Hi, how many hours of PTO can you roll over into the new year..?

Hello folks, any credit card suggestions with good benefits and cash-back? Please advise. TIA

So, how many days left before you start the holiday seasons? What are your biggest priorities for the new year?

Any tips for traveling with a baby? Will be flying with a 4 month old in a few months. Any advice would be appreciated!

Should I ask for a refund for my Delta flight or keep it as credit that can last til 2022? Delta is losing about 50m a day, so it’s a bit concerning. What would you do?

Successfully made the jump.

Places where I applied and got an interview so at least I know they look at fed backgrounds. Might want to check them out. These were DC area.

hiya fishes. happy friday! sorry if this isnt the right bowl, but this is in regards to vacation time. i have an interview process starting next week, and wondering when it would be good to mention i would be OOO between the middle of the month in september? its for a week. im unsure if i can twist this to have a start date once im back. going back and forth on being transparent vs. mentioning it later on. thoughts?

What kind of structures do everyone have for origination? Our practice is expanding to plaintiffs personal injury and exploring different benefits programs for attorneys who bring their own cases. So far we’re thinking a points system towards bonuses, but unsure.

I am new to United Silver and I purchase economy tickets. Is the best strategy to check in exactly 24 hours ahead and switch my seat to an open economy plus seat?

Found a bed bug in a Radisson Red in Campinas Brazil, how many points?

Almost 4 weeks in and my status is still wrong. It was correct for the first ~1 day and then bumped down a level. Shouldn’t be hard as all my nights last year were SPG. This is ridiculous.

Random, but valid/persistent thought.

After 2 years of a pandemic and working independently for many years, I am not feeling interviews AT ALL. There are points in the interview where I want to just say "Look! Either hire me or don't".

How can I get over this feeling? I'm over the whole "stand in the line of fire to prove how good I am" bs. Any recommendations for getting over this or possible industries to pivot into to avoid bs interview processes and ghosting?

How common are credit checks for roles in accounting or finance positions? Will high utilization on credit card balances and low credit score be a deal breaker? I’ve been irresponsible and made mistakes, but wondering if I can switch jobs now or if I’m best off waiting 1-2 years and cleaning up my credit first.

I work a travel job (consulting - domestic travel) and plan to move to NY/NJ soon. I know that more flights fly from JFK and LGA than Newark. Should that be part of my consideration when choosing to live in NY or NJ?

Hypothetical: hiring for a Lead Product Designer position to own direction of a data heavy saas app, would you hire someone that pivoted into UX from marketing and graduated HCI masters recently or someone who had a web designer/dev freelance & UX consulting background?

Just based on those two points.

Can you share what are some questions you're having rn that would affect the decision?

Staying at the Ritz and STR in the Maldives so expecting good service and reading mixed things about tipping. I usually don’t tip much at hotels (never really thought about it) but what do people do? Is there an expectation and would the amount be based on like room rate or just a flat daily per day?

Do Citius HR dont respond/ignore if not selected ?
Or does that mean i am on Hold?

Opinions on career clerkships? Especially with a two year old and wanting another child eventually.

Hi Fishes,

Need your suggestion.
Wanted to decline an offer (which I had accepted earlier) stating location contraint, but now they have given location of my choice.Still I don't want to join.

How should I deal with company in this scenario.

Hey small agency friends with kids! Quick question. Our agency’s family health care is expensive (ranges from $1700/mon with normal deductible to $1100/mon with super high deductible). If anyone out there (at a small NYC agency) has a better plan and is comfortable sharing, would you mind telling me who your company uses? My kids’ college funds thank you!

Going to Costa Rica in March. Plan to go from San Jose > La Fortuna > Monteverde > San Jose. Is car rental the best option? How easy is it to drive around there? Thanks.

Been on project for 2 months and manager said he doesn't know if I am ready for promotion yet (next talent discussion is July/Aug 2018). Any help on how to right the ship?

Where are you in your own path to parenthood?

Our 5 month old started daycare about 5 weeks ago. We’ve already had to keep her home for 2.5 of those 5 weeks due to catching various illnesses (croup, rsv, brinchiolitis, etc). Both my wife and I have been sick most of that time as well (gotten it from the baby). Wife is thinking we get a full time nanny for the next 4 months to help the baby build antibodies. Cost aside, is this feasible / worthwhile to go thru the effort / finding the right fit, only for 4 months?

Need advice and help.

I have realized I grew up in a household where my dad did not treat my mom as an equal. He belittles her, is rude and convinced his way is the only way.

It is painful to say, but some of this shows up in me and in my relationship. I am starting to catch myself, and it to me seems to be more of a reaction than anythjng that is ever intentional.

Wondering if anyone has dealt with something similar, and any success in making changes besides therapy. Cont. in comments

At this point, I’m looking forward to telling opposing counsel in this one case that I’m leaving my firm more than telling my firm. Between the ridiculous theory of the case, the truly obnoxious discovery requests, and the self-righteous attitude, I can’t wait to never talk to this guy again.

Have you ever snoop through your partner’s phone without them knowing? If so, did you find anything shocking?!

Are there any openings in enterprise profitability team in PWC sdc?

Anyone done the billing superbadge? Need some help with step 13

I’ve been on Wellbutrin for about a year and it was working…but I feel the depression coming back. I don’t want to just keep upping the dosage (went from 150 -> 200). I’m not too sure what to do and therapy is something I can’t afford right now with my recent rent increase. Any thoughts or advice?

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

What is the tipping etiquette on the free platinum breakfast in a JW Marriott? The server just gets coffee / orange juice and you serve yourself. It is an overpriced buffet that I would never dine in.

Hi everyone. I saw on insta that some ambassador elite got gifts. I only got the voucher despite getting ambassador this year regardless of covid extension. Am I going to get something?

Is there a reason to get the luxury SPG amex if I got the new Chase Marriott card like a month ago?

Best non-travel credit cards? I have Chase Marriott and SW but looking at best value cards during Covid. Esp Amexes. TIA!!!

First travel project. What are the most valuable airline points to accumulate? How can I maximize my travel points (hertz, Marriott, air, csr) to be redeemed for free flights?

About to start traveling and would like to build up points with an airline....who would you suggest between delta & AA?

Any Alaska Airlines challenges going on now? Or do they match status?

Just hit EXP on AA for next year - should I keep flying them for work for the remainder of the year or try to get status somewhere else?

Do we still receive points for the stay if I book through AmexTravel?

Found thread to gain status through match stream for all rental companies and 5 hotel chains

Anyone else impacted by the Hilton Honors system issue where status has been downgraded? Is requesting an upgrade to an executive suite for a personal stay a solid request?

Incoming BA - any advice/links on the math for the best credit card for personal use?

Has anyone had Marriott gift you the next level of status if you’re only a few nights short of the requirement at end of year?

Anyone have United GPUs to offload? Looking to purchase two.

Planning on opening a Bonvoy boundless chase cc for the 75,000 points and have heard the first year is free. Is that right? If it is, do I still get the 75k? Are the 75k Chase points or Bonvoy points?

Would you rather have 5x amex MR points or 3x chase UR points for each dollar spent on flights? Why? Company let's me book flights on personal cards and trying to decide which to choose.

Why won’t AA let me book business class flights with points if they’re available to buy cash? (Qatar flight on AA site)

Travel noob question. Is status on AA or DL more valuable. Doing a DCA-ATL run for a deployment. AA is bigger in DCA. DL has more ATL flights and more alt travel options. Which FF program is better?
