I'll be 1600 MQMs from Plat on Delta after this project. Should I do a mileage run?

The difference between Gold and Platinum is Yuuge. Do it.

How much longer is the project? Could you just do connecting flights the last few weeks to rack up some miles?

Even if I don't know if I'll fly delta next year. Usually do Star Alliance

Hahah 👌 thanks fish fam

Agreed try some connections, worth it

Yes

Yes

Only one more week so this is already with some connections. Just wondering whether the diff between gold and Plat are worth my own money to do a mileage run

Slightly higher rate of upgrades and free Comfort+ upgrades are reasons to do it if you're that close. You can get 1600 miles so fast (ATL-BOS gets you 1800). That said, if you think your travel will go down significantly next year then I probably wouldn't and just roll over all those miles so you at least requalify as Medallion.

A1: I'm likely to be on United/AC next year, but I'm sure as fate has it, as soon as I do the rollover, I'm on a delta project

After a hard reset on travel points (got none after Covid and change to industry) how would you start over? Which credit card is best for travel points? Airline? Starwood or Bonvoy? Avis or ??

At one time I had status on most airlines and hotels but I never bothered to focus on accumulating points since it seemed like they were infinite and I booked on convenience. Oh have times changed! I even let go of Amex platinum, just wasn’t worth it to me. Base airport LAX/SNA so no airline pref.

Hi everyone! I’d like to create a simple graphic of our HR operational calendar for my client group. A visually appealing infographic that outlines our annual talent cycles (talent planning, performance reviews, promotion nominations, merit, etc) so leadership always knows what’s coming and can better prepare and strategize. Any ideas on how I can best visually represent this? Any tools, programs or templates you recommend? Thanks!

Can someone walk me through the Do's and Don't's of AA miles? I think they're a joke.

I have 65k miles and I could only pay for a one-way ticket from PHX-JFK. I had to book 1 leg with miles and the 1 with cash, but booking the other leg in cash was about 80% of the round trip in cash.

My mom has 12k miles that expire soon, transferring them would cost me $450. I can pay for a round trip with that cash but I can only pay for a trip to my kitchen with those 12k miles.

What am I doing wrong? 😂

I’m trying to figure out what I’m worth. I’m a director / editor who works directly in-house at an agency. I’ve directed several (roughly one a month) broadcast spots in the last year for a national fast food client and I’ve also edited those spots among editing other random national spots in-between. The production budgets range from roughly 200k-500k per shoot depending on how many days it is. I get paid 75k yearly which is feeling pretty low when I do the math. Is that fair?
