Help! What card to put my hotel stay on for most value back? Was planning to pay for hotel on Amex gold but I noticed it’s just $1:1 point. I got the Delta Amex earlier this year but that is also 1:1. Hotel stay is next week & should be $2500 before any incidentals. If I put the hotel stay on my Gap MC (promo now until 9/30) it would be 5x per dollar =$125 reward. I also have Saks MC and Nordies Visa but am unclear what their points values are outside of stores rn.

Problem is that you don’t have a travel CC. Based on what you mentioned the best return is in the Gap.

You can call and upgrade the gold to the platinum, but I don’t think that’s wise.

I second Director 1.

Chase sapphire preferred. But you’re probably better off waiting for a higher promotion than the marginal points you’d get for 3x $2500

Yea most of my travel in the past I stayed with friends/family or in boutique hotels or someone else paid! I’m staying at a Melia resort again and they don’t have a card. I noticed the wording with “travel” really only applies to flights not hotel. The Gap offer might be the same. Bummer. Thanks anyway.

I applied for a job at Visa and was contacted the same day. A few days later I had a 30-minute screening interview with the hiring manager. I knew I was very early in the process since the job had only been posted for a few days. It's been 3 weeks and I haven't heard back, even after reaching out to the recruiter. Have I been ghosted or is there still hope? Does anyone at Visa have insights? Looks like there are a ton of jobs posted so maybe they are just backed up?
