Is it worth having a travel industry CC (ie Marriott)? I used to travel all the time for work but won’t be anymore and don’t plan to in the future so I’m not going to accumulating hotel points but don’t have enough for 100% free stays and want to start booking some trips in the near future. I currently only have CSR and CF.

Hilton Aspire

$450 annual fee.

-$250 airline credit
-$250 Resort credit

You always come out $50 ahead. Now add…

- Annual free weekend night (depending on the property you select, this could be worth $500+)
- $100 incidental credit per stay when you stay at least 2 nights at Waldorf or Conrad

This card is overpowered

I got to know someone thru work, and flirted a bit over 1 week. Then we never spoke again because of work geography. He reached out this week after 9 months+ asking for a visa sponsor to take a vacay in my country (given mobility restriction these days), and asked me to hook him up with a business visa referral letter thru my connections. He also said he’s coming with gf. I said im happy to write him a personal reference letter, but wont be able to get him a business one. Is this rude?
