Has anyone ever Upgrades to premium class on a flight (on Alaska in this case) only to cancel for a flight credit? Basically I booked saver fare, need to cancel it but don’t want to eat the cost. It’s $100 to upgrade round trip and premium class can get a flight credit. Is this possible? Or will Alaska not let that happen?

Has anyone been offered a status buy-up for 2021. ~$1700 short of United 1k this year and think my travel will increase a good bit starting next year. Think it could make sense, especially given the 2021 thresholds

What other cards to add to my collection? I have AmEx Platinum and Chase Sapphire Reserve. Fly Delta so AmEx is handy for lounges. Use Sapphire for dining/travel. Should I add Chase Freedom Unlimited?

Does anyone have a preferred car service company? I am looking for a service that can consistently provide traveler alerts such as when car has arrived, passenger is on board, trip competed, etc. across US cities. I have found a company that will do this when I book travel in NYC, but when my Professionals arrive in their destination cities the affiliates do not offer this same feature. Any suggestions? Thank you!

Just booked flight to Hong Kong. Best SPG/Marriott to book on points? Trying to find proximity to good nightlife, restaurants, and public transportation. (Cont.)

For those who have started traveling again... I recently started flying for work and am noticing increased discrimination on Delta Airlines. As a brown person have experienced that in the past, but lately it’s blatant. I’m a diamond and a million miler however, I see more and more out of turn upgrades. Have you experienced and what dis you do about it?

Hi fellow fish need some advice.

I'm planning a wedding and wondering if I should apply for new credit cards to maximize on points. If so, wondering what your recommendations are and or if there are new cards out there I haven't heard of yet. For context I probably have another 20k+ in expenses to pay still and my current cards are:

CSP
Marriott Bonvoy Boundless
Citi double cash
Random card (used to be uber)

I am sick of seeing these SPG Marriott posts!! Can we talk about something else for a change?

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

Thank you all for your help!

If buy the partners you work with regularly a holiday gift, how much do you spend? Usually I get baked goods or food items which you can’t tell the actual amount spent on. This year, though, I’d like to support local restaurants by encouraging people to order takeout—hence, giving gift cards.

How much is appropriate for a restaurant gift card from an associate to a partner?

Anyone hiring those who have been out of work for a year? I took time off to tend to personal matters, but I am now looking to get back into the workforce again. My previous experience includes time at B4 audit up to senior level and then transitioned to manager in industry. Senior/manager roles are preferred.

I don’t mind audit. However, I’d prefer it not to be at a B4, as I am looking for some semblance of a work life balance.

DM me if you have something above, thanks.

What other cards to add to my collection? I have AmEx Platinum and Chase Sapphire Reserve. Fly Delta so AmEx is handy for lounges. Use Sapphire for dining/travel. Should I add Chase Freedom Unlimited?

2021 Recruitment: What are the recruitment expectations for your firms this year? Is it going to be similar to last year with little to no recruiting in the UAE and some in KSA, or you reckon will be generally better?
My firm, a small boutique in the region, is only recruiting on a case-by-case basis this year.

Any recommendations for recruiters who are active in the region?

Do partners know each other’s compensation? I see partners selling engagements for vastly different numbers b/w shorter ‘interesting’ strategy work and longer ‘boring’ transformations. Thoughts?

I want to buy a Rolex. How does one go about doing this nowadays? Do I need to email an AD to tell them exactly what I want and then wait a couple months? This will be my first nice watch.

Why are the Roman numerals so thick and blobby on the newer Rolex Datejusts?

Men any intel on well made white shirts around $100 that aren’t see through? My maker just made their shirts more transparent and lost my business sadly. TIA!

Hi WBS (watch bowl savants), I’d like to start a dialogue on how we can effectively use this forum for buying and selling.

Or if you’d prefer we keep this sales free.

Such a business case type question, but I’ve been wondering how much watch revenue has been influenced by this bowl over the past couple years? Anyone else wonder the same? Shooting in the dark but I’d guess probs $10m or so

What’s the oldest watch you have? Excl digital and quartz watches as those things last forever.

I’m quite close to finally being able to get a Sub at retail and it seems it’s not that special of a thing, all of a sudden? So many people have one…

Own a Sub 41, but getting a Hamilton Khaki Field 42 as an everyday later today! As excited as I was picking up the Sub 😍 Thoughts as an everyday watch? Will post pictures if I pull the trigger!

I am in the market for a Rolex, budget is 5k. Any recommendations pls

Sorry for going somewhat off-topic but I figure this is a good crowd to ask: anybody have a fountain pen they like below 200€? Looking to graduate from stealing ACN’s disposable pens, but I want to ease into it in case I lose it (pen won’t be strapped around my wrist)
