I have a Delta Companion pass from my Delta Platinum card. I’m NY based. What are the best redemption opportunities? Do you think it truly provides value? (Inability in booking Basic prices, etc)

I've had good experiences booking companion tickets. It can be a real cost saver, especially since they extended the expiration of last year's certificates due to covid. My wife and I have booked two trips already with companion tickets, and the cost savings is well in excess of the annual fee for the card. Book well in advance to find the best options, and try flying Sun-Thurs instead of Fri-Sat.

The real play is combining companion certificates with regional upgrades, and getting two first class tickets for the price of one main cabin.

M1 if you reach Platinum or Diamond Medallion you are eligible to receive upgrade certificates thrive the Choice Benefits program. Each certificate allows you to upgrade into a premium seat on one leg.

Example: my wife and I are going to Orlando in September. I'm a platinum medallion with the plat amex so I have upgrade certificates and a companion ticket. I booked my main cabin ticket and got hers for free. Then I used four upgrade certificates to upgrade all four (2 tickets x 2 legs) to first class. Voila, two first class round trips for the cost of one main cabin ticket.

I made a mistake starting SIP in a ULIP. Used to invest 7500 per month starting from November 2018. I have discontinued my premium payments since last year. That is when my fund was moved to an interim surrender state and now it earns 4% per annum interest.

After 5 years of lock-in that is November 2023, can i withdraw the entire amount at a time? (Of course after paying surrender charges)

Trying to think through whether it’s worth it to refinance my non-federal student loans. Currently at 4.13% interest fixed and paying $1.2k/month with just over 2 years of payments left. Thinking I’d still pay around that much per month if not more but at least save on interest. Any thoughts for or against?

Hello Fishes,

I am new to the investing world. I have invested some 80k in Nifty fifty index funds. I wanted to increase my investment in other MFs and stocks.

Can you advise how to start it considering short term and long term financial goals.

Short term goals - like for 2-3 years

Long term goals - like for 5-6+ years or more depending upon the performance

I have seen multiple you tube videos but seems to get confused on how to start and which funds to pick.

Thank you!
