Hi All - I am trying to figure out how to fly my friends family from Germany to US (Los Angeles) using points. They are Ukrainian refugees and figured I could help this way. I have 90K UA pts and 420k AMEX pts. Which are best transfers / routes I should look into?

Points wizards - I need some United miles stat. What’s the best conversion point source right now?

Thanks!!

💳Credit card help💳 Starting a new job in two weeks. The new company does not give a corporate card, so I get to pick my own. If things were normal and I was traveling / spending as usual, getting the CSR or AMEX platinum would make sense. But with things the way they are, what should I do? Work related expenses will be minimal, but Im moving/furnishing an apartment so personal spend will be decent. TIA!

Any recommendations for best balance transfer card? Like zero APR for 15-18 months and no fee? Also nice to have points or cash bonus

How can you track the fast track United mileage program?

I signed up for fast track in October and it said I have 120 days to use the fast track. On my mileage profile it says that I need to hit X miles etc to get gold status by the end of this year.

Are these two things separate and where can I see the fast track progress?

Thanks in advance :)

Best Hyatt in Hawaii (ideally Kona or Maui)?

Lyft driver delayed picking me up 30 min, resulting in me canceling my ride and asking hotel to call me a “yellow taxi” to get to the airport because it was 5am and all ubers/lyfts were 15 min. Specifically said yellow. Hotel calls me a private lux SUV and the driver got out of the car to handshake the man who called and said hi (honestly money couldve been passed). I then get hit with a $180 ride. Marriott website says taxi should be $65. Should I complain or let it go?
