I recently joined FIL as Lead BA. Is there any chance of on-site travel? Is there any team where on-site movement is easy?

My fiancé and I both have the CSR card and Freedom Unlimited combo and love them. We are thinking of adding another card and we were considering the Amex Platinum (to diversity transfer partners) or likely a United card for lounge access since we live in Chicago.

Does anyone else have both CSR and Amex Platinum? Would you recommend?

Hi. So I'm about to begin employment with United HealthGroup. It will be for Medicare recipients. I have some years experience with Medicaid. Any advice? I know, at first, it'll be working on the phones. Any thoughts also on how to get off the phones or how to move into other positions? Thank you.

American airlines is so dumb. Was trying to purchase MCE seats for a long-haul. You can’t
purchase it online after check-in. And they can’t uncheck you over the phone. Good thing I fly Delta!

How is upgrad abroad courses?Do they really help us with credits transferring and studying abroad?

I have been looking at the curriculums for Harvard Business School's Master of Business Administration and Harvard Extension School's ALM in Management. They both have the same requirements (generally speaking) including a capstone course that serves as a field immersion course with the Master's in Management, which is fairly new. If I am not able to gain admission to Harvard Business School, but wanted a similar educational experience to become a consultant, should I attend Harvard Extension?

Now I'm in a client location, My manager is a good person but he told me, I should report to Lead.

Lead is a psycho. He shows hell to the team members including me.

Can someone confirm if Marriott does not give complimentary breakfast with a points booking? Booked with 25k points and was told no complimentary breakfast..

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?

Just got an offer to upgrade my Amex Gold to Platinum with a 100k point bonus (spend $6k in 6 months). Is this worth it to upgrade to platinum? Would you do it

Is CSR still worth it? I already used the complimentary Lyft membership? It just expired. and I already used the DoorDash benefit. Their fees are going up to $550

Had the CSP for 18 months. Do I upgrade to the Reserve now (no signing bonus) or wait until my 24 months are up and cancel old/apply for the Reserve to get the signing?

"How many points?"
I'm new to all this. Beyond all the humor is this actually commonly done ? What's the process and way to go. Real examples please:)

I’m generally not a beggar but figured it was worth a shot: Does anyone have two United Club passes that are going to expire soon and you’re willing to share?

Best way to cash $2000 in visa gift cards?

Best sign up bonus right now that is not the CSP and the Amex platinum?

Anyone flown Copa Airlines Economy? Considering booking some personal travel on it using miles and wanted to see if it’s any good

Anyone successfully use the $200 Amex hotel credit? The FHR and hotel collection redemptions are all pretty insane price wise. I’ve heard there are some good deals to be had in Vegas but looking for other options.
