Hello. What’s the best airline for building up status + credit card points? I live in San Diego and growing tired of SW.

Anyone love Alaska? Does Alaska have good alliance with other airlines and hotels? Will take a referral too…

It depends where you are traveling to. Unfortunately we don't have a reliable "hub airline" that will get you everywhere with the best route. If you frequent any hub cities or regions, would stick with that airline. Otherwise, most of the loyalty programs are somewhat gutted from what they used to be. Alaska is nice because there aren't a lot of folks with status, though more nowadays with the one world alliance, but pretty limited for direct options compared to Delta/United. The AA partnership helps, but better to build AA status if you are flying to one of their hubs.

If you go all over the place, then it's all about the same from my experience, and you can pick your favorite and stick with it.

I’d keep the CSP since you have it already. If you find yourself using it more often for travel, then it could be worth looking at doing a product change to the CSR.

Easily Alaska if your routes are served by them.

Help!! My bestfriend is doing two months abroad and was trying to fly into turkey when they told her she couldn't because her passport expired within three months.

She went to the US Embassay in Athens knowing she had a month left of traveling, and gave her an emergency passport and punched holes in her exsisting one. Now no country will let her in with her emergency passport.

Can her mom get her a passport in the US and ship it to her? Is there anyway around this?

Thank you!!

I was just informed after the third round of interviews they’d like at least 5 references, two must be supervisors.

Anything before that was grad school and I haven’t kept in contact with any professors from over five years ago. What should I do? 😕
