Just got the Amex gold. Is it worth it to also get the Amex plat to get the 15k bonus? It expires next week.

15k points is not worth it

150k*

I’ve found that AMEX plat not worth it for the points imo. Especially with them increasing the fee. Also, so many new restrictions with the centurion lounge.

If you spend a few grand on flights per year or fly skyteam fairly exclusively, yes can be worth it. I have both and find the benefits more than pay for the card personally but that’s not true for all people.

Would you happen to save money by using platinum benefits that won’t be in gold (Example: walmart+ membership)? You’ll have to do the research and do the math to your expense pattern to really answer this question. Just based on points, I’m going to say not worth it.

Ideally want to get EOY bonus or negotiate for a signing bonus but is it too much to push for signing bonus and those weeks off? I'm open to working remotely those two weeks but know that may not be the best when I start.

A HR question I really want to understand. ISRS HR quoted a podcast "The not so great resignation" saying 70% regret leaving and many want to go back to old employer. If this really the case the employee likely left due to higher pay at the new company. If they want to boomerang back they will likely come back at even a higher rate than they left the new company for. So getting double raise when they boomeranged. Isn't it unbeneficial, why not just give employee a 7% raise in the first place?
