I live near Newark (EWR) a United hub and only have a CSR which is a United transfer partner. I travel a few times a year for work internationally (I get to put expenses on my CSR). I’m wondering if I should try to book only Star Alliance airlines so I can have the United Points and Chase Points to transfer or if I should fly SkyTeam and get the Delta points as Delta’s points program is rated higher at the TPG Awards. Also open to other ideas.

P&T is ‘central to our FY23 strategy’ and yet we had to beg and plead to even get a handful of P&T Directors to represent at the Director CLeX happening this week in San Diego.

Not feeling the ‘one firm’ narrative we push - completely tone deaf and sends a horrible message for P&T Directors.

Major missed opportunity to start bridging the divide - particularly at a level where the real work gets done.

How many firms is too many? I’ve practiced 13 years. Since I was a 1st year associate, every 3 years or so I’ve been recruited for another opportunity that is hard to pass up. I’ve been at my current firm 3 years and got the call again, again about an opportunity that is hard to pass up. I don’t like having a reputation of a flight risk, but this keeps happening. Should I decline to pursue the opportunity just so I have a longer track record at my current firm? This will be my 4th if I move.

Luggage delay claim question

I used Chase explorer to buy tickets for my vacation and luggages were delayed for a month. Per chase term I am entitled $100 a day for 3 days. But the claim agency chase used has been asking for airlines response, which has not came (2month+ now). I am concerned insurance will use this as an excuse to never compensate. Is there a good way to handle this situation?
TIA

I then get hit with a $180 ride. Marriott website says taxi should be $65. Should I complain or let it go?
