I am leaving Deloitte soon and have 42 k points in my Amex which I think will expire once I leave. I see they are giving 1-1.25 transfer for Marriott . Is that the best use or is there any other options I should look for redeeming my points

Apply for a credit card with no annual fee and then transfer the points across the accounts.

@E1 it doesn’t impact it by more than a few points but after I was preapproved for my mortgage and using that to shop around I wasn’t allowed to open any other lines of credit until after the purchase was complete unless I wanted to do the entire preapproval again which I think is probably OPs situation

Lot of options, including applying for a card, as stated above, but transferring those to Marriott is not one of the best uses

Depends on your travel habits. I would send them over to Delta personally but it’s because I have status on Delta, am super flexible and always sit in economy in order to get the biggest bang for my buck on mile redemption (I’ve seen 8k one-way FL-Cali and 30k round trip to Europe pre-pandemic).

Contrarily, if you fly oneworld, the Avios promotion is solid rn. 40% bonus and great for short to med haul domestic flights, especially on alaska (better availability).

If you’re looking to not waste them, that’s not the worst thing. It’s not the best, but if you can’t open a different account, I would do it.

Anyone have slow months where you burn through a lot of your allotted pro bono/professional development hours to keep hitting minimum daily hours? The past few weeks have been like this for me. Should I be concerned (I.e., will this reflect poorly on me, come review time? Will I have dug myself too much of a hole if I keep burning my non-billable hours?)

New Jersey partnership question.

Partnerships need to use market sourcing for purposes of calculating NR withholding tax (though NJ doesn't even call this withholding anymore).

However, for purposes of calculating the NJ distributive share of income, you apply Gross Income Tax (personal income tax) rules, which is 3 factor and includes COP.

If I end up with 0% apportionment under GIT and 10% apportionment under CBT (withholding tax), the partnership pays tax upfront but NRs get 100% refund?
