I already have CSR that gives me 3X UR points per $1. I’m a Marriott loyalist and thinking about getting Boundless that give 6X Marriott Points (MP) per $1. Right now 1 UR = 1 MP, should I get it?

Not to pay with it because Marriott points typically convert 3:1 with airlines (2.4:1 if you transfer in increments of 60k Marriott points) while UR transfer 1:1. So in effect you’re giving 3 airline miles for ~2. Now obviously if you’re either 1) looking to transfer to partners not covered by UR or 2) solving for hotel redemption it might make sense to switch.

I’m solving exclusively for Marriott redemptions. I’m gonna use UR for airlines and everything else.

Yes.

I'd get it. The annual free night award means the card pays for its own annual fee, so there is no downside beyond the credit pull and 5/24 rule.

Doing the same

What is CSR and UR?

CSR = Chase Sapphire Reserve
UR = Ultimate Rewards (Chase's point redemption)

I want to spend $10k on a cruise to Antarctica. My wife doesn’t want to go and doesn’t think I should spend the money either. I make 200k and she makes 65k. I worked hard to get a 37k hot skill bonus from all the certs I studied for. We are recently married. I’m discouraged because I feel like I can’t save and spend my money the way I did before. I know marriage is supposed to be united financially, but since we are recently married it’s tough to give up my freedom financially. Advice?

I am hesitating to take lead role. But for my experience (8 YOE) I will have to take up that role at least in my next switch.

Could you please suggest me how can I come out of this fear. I am afraid of taking lead role because of below things.

1. Taking ownership for entire team deliverables.
2. Had to attend every requirement call and as well as technical review calls. (When BA is not good, need to provide acceptance criteria points).
3. Providing and justifying resource/work estimates.

Have ppl really had sliding into a girls DM and simply saying “drinks or dinner this week?”.
