Hi everyone. Not on H1B just yet but does anyone have experience traveling to Mexico,Canada or the adjacent islands on an expired F1 visa (Still OPT eligible) through the Automatic Visa Revalidation?

Heads up: Hilton is giving triple points during July if you use their credit card for booking. Good opportunity to make up to 54 points per $1. Time to stack up those points! Happy monday! :D

Finally have built up an emergency fund after 2 years of working! I’m looking to move most of it to a high yield savings account (and then start investing, woohoo) but not sure which is the best one or if certain ones have better services etc. I’m looking at Marcus just because it seems to have the best rates right now but any info helps! TIA

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

Hey guys, one question. My H1B will start on Oct 1st, and I am planning to visit my home country to get H1B visa stamp. I filed my amended state tax return a year ago and did not hear from them. Does it affect my VISA or entry to the US? Or should I call them to check the status of my status tax return? Please advice

Do you get a free checked bag on a united domestic flight if you’re Premier Silver?

Chase Sapphire Reserve is not able to book a ticket for me on Air India because the flight is not showing up on their system. The flights shows up everywhere else including on Expedia, which powers Chase’s portal. Anyone had similar experience?

What other cards to add to my collection? I have AmEx Platinum and Chase Sapphire Reserve. Fly Delta so AmEx is handy for lounges. Use Sapphire for dining/travel. Should I add Chase Freedom Unlimited?

Best Marriott/SPG property for a couple’s stay in Amsterdam? End of December - want to be reasonably close to city center but not break the points bank (<~50k a night ideally )

Since the Chase Freedom Unlimited gives 3% cash back on dining, does that mean you get more UR points that way vs. using the Chase Sapphire Preferred?

American has a promo listed on their app - use Rocketmiles to book a hotel and earn X000 American points. Has anyone here used it? If I book a Marriott properly, can I apply my Marriott retroactively?
