I just had dinner with a friend who normally travels every week for work and I asked her about points (as I do) and she isn't signed up for any programs. 7 months of points, credit card rewards, lost.

similar story, friend who works as an international product manager travels to europe from west coast every other month or so... in biz class... sheā€™s like ā€œya people at work are telling me i need a different credit card and to book a certain way and because i didnā€™t, i didnā€™t get all the miles or something?ā€

i was like ā€œhaha yeah, gotta play the game,ā€ but in my head iā€™m like ā€œwow you couldā€™ve been premier 1k you idiot smhā€

Videos longer than 15 min get automatically shortened to 15 min on IG Reels! Help!

So, I usually host an IG live session. Typically, it last 45 min.

If I upload directly after recording the live, then the full 45 min is uploaded in 1080 x 1920 format. Besides missing a cover image, itā€™s fine. But, in most cases, I need to re-upload the 45 min video once I edit it (remove slurs, etc.)

However, when I upload my edited 45 video, it automatically gets cut to 15 min.

I found little workaroundā€¦
