I have a chase Saphire preferred card and want to book a 2k flight ticket for a family member. How can I get the maximum of points while booking? Just using the card itself will give me points? Do I need to book it from my account?

You get 5 points per dollar for buying it through the Chase portal and 2 points per dollar buying it outside of Chase. I would do a price comparison between what you see in the Chase Ultimate Rewards portal for the flight and what you see with the airline.

If you're open to another card, the best way maximize a large purchase is with a new card sign up bonus. For example you can get 75K miles with the Capital One Venture X for spending $4k within 3 months of opening the card.

Thank you so much . I like the second option But that means I have to pay annual fees for both cards.

W1, what do you mean that annual fees aren’t for life? Just want to understand because I feel like canceling card has always been a big no-no (at least told)

Rental property managers in ALX

Hi! I am preparing to rent out my condo in Alexandria (off edsall road) in the spring. Anyone have any tips for first time landlords? I’m planning to work with a rental mgmt company that has 3 properties in my complex. They’ll charge 1 month rent for the marketing and 7.9% mgmt fee. I am moving to a lower COLA and don’t mind paying for the mgmt, but I haven’t found a good cash flow calculator to forecast taxes, etc. Any guidance would be appreciated! Thanks.

I feel like every company lies about “working your way up.” You’re never allowed to blatantly say that you don’t like your position and you’d like to transition to HR or Finance. It’s almost as if once you get in claims, you’re stuck.

If you’re a manager and you see an employee that wants to branch out into a different department, why would you keep them boxed in for 2+ years?

Are there some background mechanics that I’m missing?
