Is CSR still better than a bonvoy card? Assuming 1-1.5k weekly spend traveling two thirds of the year would be at least 3 nights at a top tier place

CSR and if you really want access to AMEX MR a Platinum (if you’ll take advantage of the lounge access, Uber credits and booking through AMEX travel) or Gold (if you can put enough spend on it through groceries and 4x dining). Add a hotel-branded card if you have a preferred chain that you stay at most of the time.

Blue Business Plus. 2X MR on anything. So any purchase that doesn’t fall under another bonus category goes there.

Heya,

I know usually companies covers immgration fee(visa,solicitor etc) when hiring foreigners in UK.

Do companies also reimburse flight tickets for relocating ?

I am in the UK, but I believe I have to fly back to my origin country to proceed visa for skilled worker visa(checked government website).
That means I HAVE to get a round ticket from UK -> home -> UK, which is £2000.
In this case, is it normal for company to cover this fee?
I got immgration support letter but it’s a bit vague

So, recently got phished while staying at Marriott Peachtree Hotel in ATL. Received call to my room at 12:30 am from the “GM” who knew my name (and room number obviously). Didn’t feel right and the night manager said the GM called and told him I would likely come down upset. He then said the issue was resolved and dismissed the situation. Sure enough, it was fraud and charges began to come in. I received 105k points but feel it should be more. What amount of points have you received and what’s?
