Hello! Anyone work at GE Healthcare?
Amazon folks - need to reschedule an inteview due to an unforeseen work commitment. Wondering if it's going to look bad/impact the interviewing chances if I were to ask for a reschedule? It's taken months of applying to get one so don't want to jeopardize but the current job committment is going to be difficult to get out of (unless I call in sick). Recommendations?
Is January the longest month ever or what…?

I have the CSP and Amex Platinum. Will be applying for the CSR tomorrow and downgrading my CSP to Freedom Unlimited (no annual fee and 1.25 points/$ fixed rate). CSR has the $300 travel credit each year, so that essentially makes it a $150 annual fee card. $50 more per year than the CSP is a no brainer with the 100k point bonus, 3x travel and dining multiplier, and 1.5 cents/point redemption through the Ultimate Rewards portal
Upgrade from your current card tomorrow but you won't get the initial 100,000 point bonus. The card comes highly recommended from a trusted source
Right. Major deficiency in domestic lounges.
Got it today. Not an upgrade, it's a separate card. $4k spend in 3 months for the 100k bonus
If you can cover the $5k spend for the 100k point offer, it's worth it for at least a year. After that is questionable, especially since lounge access is just Priority Pass.
Why is priority pass bad?
D2-limited lounges, mostly abroad
@D1 I don't think the number of lounges are the issue (900+ globally) and I use their lounges nearly every time I'm in an airport overseas (open bars and buffets in LHR and MEX 😃). The issue is domestically I've been turned away from their partner lounges because they will (understandably) give access to first or business travelers before Priority Pass members
If I have sapphire normal, can I get the bonus for sapphire reserve signup?
Yes
