I pay to earn the AMEX points on my corporate card. My “membership” ends in September. Is it worth renewing for $55 to keep the points and continue to earn - not knowing when I will travel again and break even / “profit” from this? It’s also only $55 so I feel like might be worth to spend so I don’t need to cash out on my accumulated points.

For reference: I don’t have a personal AMEX, only corporate

This is not an amex, but other mileage credit card, i call the customer service if it’s possible to forgive the mbership fee charged in my account due to COVID i can’t use the card for travel purposes and was able to credit back the charge.

Is this fee waived if you have Plat? I don't recall seeing this fee ever but I'm sure I'm collecting points on my corp card

Yes

Amex points can be redeemed for $0.01 each, a good redemption via a transfer partner is $0.02 each, and a sweet spot redemption (e.g., ANA to Asia) can be worth much more. Just need to do the math in your current points, and points you can expect to earn, and then make your decision if that offsets the $55.

How many points you got?

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
