Just got the Amex Platinum with the $200 airline credit. Unfortunately, my preferred airline is United, which doesn't allow gift card purchases. Suggestions on what to do? I was thinking about buying gift cards for another airline which I could then resell for market price.

Does southwest work? If so just buy a flight, cancel and use the credit some other time

You can change it to united. It's any airline

You got nothing travel-related to buy?

Nothing to buy. Already got lounge access, checked baggage fees are moot, and I've never paid for in flight meals or entertainment or change fees in my life.

I could change it to United, but United's gift registry isn't working. I'm trying to find some way I could convert that $200 credit to airline ticket purchases, which is the only airline purchase I actually foresee having.

It resets in January to your choosing

Right, but I haven't picked an airline yet. I'd like to find the best possible option to use for my $200 this year before it gets reset and wasted.

If you have a flight booked upgrade it now. Pay it and bill to client

Doesn't work because all those flights are United and the Amex Platinum credit isn't valid for United ticket purchases/upgrades.

Have you tried it? Although they state that the way the airline codes it Amex can’t tell.

Best bet is to get delta gift card and gift it for Christmas instead of you buying something

I work in sf and Nyc and have now saved enough where I’m wondering if it makes sense to buy rather than rent an apartment as an investment. Tricky part is I’m still quite young and this wouldn’t be my lifelong/family home. Have also considered buying in less metropolitan areas and renting them out for passive income. Curious if anyone’s gone through this process before and have thoughts ?

A long post: seeking some perspective. My husband of 2 years that I’ve been in a relationship with for more than 8 years just woke up one day and told me that he’s unhappy in our relationship.

He supported my career and dreams and this just doesn’t make sense. We have gotten a counselor but things aren’t getting better. Comment>
