I've reached peak churning levels. Can someone make this pandemic go away so I can focus on the art of redemptions?

Chase UR: 437k
Amex MR: 325k
Capital One: 260k
BA miles: 363k

Discover CB: $970 (most of this was arbitraged back in 2015 with the 10% cashback w/ Apple pay)

I miss Asia dearly, but I am focused on the easier places on my list for the next little while. Costa Rica is wide open.

I was listening to a Mufti Menk lecture yesterday on this topic. Surah Nashra is also about burdens we bear. Within this Surah,Allah SWT speaks about how He is the one that granted the cure, purity, and strength after the backs were about to break. Allah SWT takes us to this point to refine us. We never know our capabilities until we are tested and challenged. This is when we realize we can do it and we can get through it 🫶🏻! IA you got this 🫶🏻!

Will Amex restricting guess access for Centurion Lounge actually make any difference?

I can see short term changes but the way Amex has been aggressively marketing Platinum card, we just will have overcrowding of primary card holders 🤷🏻‍♂️

What's next, everyone has to spend min. 50k a year to get Centurion lounge access or pay per visit.
