I was selected for an offer that gave 70,000 bonus miles for speeding 3K... so...yeah I'd say that's pretty good.. 2 round trip tickets to Hawaii.

After that though... it is one mile per dollar spent... so you're definitely not buying for the Miles.

The other great benefit - no foreign transaction fee.. so if you take international vacations.. it's a plus.

After getting the sign up bonus.. I'm going to keep it in a drawer until heading to Switzerland in April

I think that the card is worthless if you have status - CSR is a better option.

D1's advice is spot on for the most part. A great card to churn, a horrible card to use. Throw it in a drawer and get a better card that has no FTF (e.g CSR/CSP)

Looking for referrals for a Technical Sales Executive position that is Remote (USA), possibly in the industrial sector. Last year I made $109k at AT&T so I'm hoping to at least stay in the same ball park but want a change. I have lots of experience selling IT/telecom, but I also have a Mechanical Engineering background so I'm a good fit for a wide range of technical sales. I have been thinking a role in the industrial sector with a longer sales cycle may be a good fit, can travel up to 25%

I was approached on LinkedIn for an early career recruiting role in DFW, TX. I don't have direct experience, but I have the university experience/connections from working in career services.

How can I know I'm getting the best salary and not just settling at the low end of the range?

(1/2) I started a new job less than a month ago at a large firm with a significant pay increase. I work remotely- which is a special arrangement.

A bunch of the attorneys dropped not so subtle hints that people who work from home are causing all kinds of problems. I don’t know what to do.
