How does American status compare to Delta?

I personally found I got upgraded more as a Platinum Pro than I do as a Platinum on Delta. There’s fewer gimmicks that get people into elite status on American.

But comfort+ is a better product so it’s a tough call.

DL has pushed the premium product quite hard. Pre 2016, as a Gold, there were routes where my upgrade percentage was 60-70% at upgrade window. Those same routes today, as a Diamond, are 40-50% at upgrade window.

I would look strongly at the route network. If I’m in an AA hub, I’m not transferring to DL and vice versa. AA platinum and DL gold is the sweet spot as you get international lounge access and free SDC. Delta is more lenient with SDC and SDS but it won’t matter if you’re buying premium tickets. DL and AA both have partner earning options that are similar. My advice, consider location first, then flight options, then customer care.

He literally leaves money on the table when not bothering to pick the credit card from his wallet that has the best rewards for the merchant. I give him the tools (card pointers app, all the rewards cards in apple wallet) but he just can’t be bothered. How to get him onboard??

Hello,
I work in SAP Data Migration space.
Can anyone explain the difference between PWC SDC, PWC AC and PWC India?

I am trying to get into PWC. here are a few things I have heard so far. Is this fairly accurate?

1. PwC AC is offshore counterpart of PwC US. Good salary. No travel opportunities. Average yearly hike ~10% Mostly technical work.
2 PwC India is a pure consulting firm. Salary better than PwC AC. client facing work. Can grow as a management consultant. Great Travel opportunities.

So- we run Dynamic Creative Optimization (DCO) for our clients display ads in a feed and corresponding google sheet via Google DoubleClick.

I know this is possible but curious if Sizmek or Flashtalking are more common in this type of creative development.

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills. My entrepreneurial pursuits remain hampered. For the interim, I’ve been looking for a remote opportunity where I can leverage my skills in marketing, sales, social media, and elsewhere for a decent sum. I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.
