Is it worth it to pay $700 to buy extra miles/PQP in order to retain United gold status for next year? My partner and I fly ~6 round trips per year, several on Air Canada so we enjoy the lounges there.

I am short 1140 PQP short to maintain my United status. I have a Turkish airline flight booked, would this be enough to gain the needed PQP? Not sure how to check / calculate. Thanks!

Pretty sure the answer is self explanatory but first year with real status. Does Marriott status reset Jan 1? For instance if I need 10 nights for Platnium am I SOL if I stay 9 nights by Dec 31?

Do you continue to see in-flight interview processes through once you’ve received and accepted an offer? It feels premature to cut the chord on the others, but also the decision between the companies becomes harder. Also afraid of the possibility to go back on the acceptance of the one role in favor of another.

Anyone have any car rental hacks to get something other than a compact to show as a compact on the receipt? Traveling on federally reimbursable funds, so need to show a compact car. But hoping to get something nicer but not get flagged by the Bean Counters. Thanks!

My wife got a job that requires us to relocate to San Diego. We have never lived there and know little about the city. We are planning to rent. We stayed in a hotel in little Italy and really loved the vibe there, but it’s too expensive for us. Are there other neighborhoods with similar vibes - restaurants, bars, lively, good for walking, clean, safe, young, diverse and accessible that are more affordable? Please share recommendations. How much should we reasonably budget to rent a 2bd/2bath?

Help!! My bestfriend is doing two months abroad and was trying to fly into turkey when they told her she couldn't because her passport expired within three months.

She went to the US Embassay in Athens knowing she had a month left of traveling, and gave her an emergency passport and punched holes in her exsisting one. Now no country will let her in with her emergency passport.

Can her mom get her a passport in the US and ship it to her? Is there anyway around this?

Thank you!!

New to UR travel portal. I keep seeing that I will get 1.5x back here -- does that mean if I have 20,000 points originally, it becomes 30,000 points in the portal? (cont.)

Do AA 500 mile upgrade awards expire? I have used a decent amount of upgrades, but I still have 14 that I have been sitting for a about maybe 6-7 months. I do not see anything about them expiring, but I would not be surprised if they do.

I am hoping someone can provide some insight so I don’t have to contact AA customer service :)

American airlines is so dumb. Was trying to purchase MCE seats for a long-haul. You can’t
purchase it online after check-in. And they can’t uncheck you over the phone. Good thing I fly Delta!

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

Is the a black market for rewards points? I want to get rid of my delta points for either American or Marriott points

I am sick of seeing these SPG Marriott posts!! Can we talk about something else for a change?
