Looking for credit card suggestions! Would prefer cash back or possible mile/hotel perks. Excellent credit score.

Also, for EY people, has anyone linked their corporate Amex card to the amex rewards program or does EY block that?

Chase Sapphire Reserve

It’s the Chase equivalent of the Amex Platinum. It’s better suited for everyday use and also has crazy travel benefits. Lower annual fee.

I personally prefer the Reserve to the Platinum.

I do a good amount of traveling and the Chase version of the Priority Pass gets me into more lounges

Chase also partners with United, my preferred airline

Do you spend a lot at grocery stores? If so I can refer you to Amex Blue Cash Preferred. 6% back

like

6% back on grocery’s and subscriptions, 3% on anything travel including parking. I get 3% back and the parking reimbursed. So much to like… 95 annual fee so do the math 1st

To answer your question on the corporate Amex link to rewards, you can upgrade your corporate card to earn points, but you will have to pay the annual fee out of pocket. Probably worth a call to Amex to see what your options are for upgrades and cost, but EY should not block that.

Yep, my corporate card is linked to my personal account.

Amex platinum. You can get annual fee discount. DM me for referrals

How do you get the discount? Through referral?

Vito double cash for 2% cash back on everything.

I love the PayPal Mastercard. 2% cash back everywhere, 3% cash back on online purchases where you use PayPal, & rolling Cashback on specific stores (ex: right now 5% cash back on Ulta/Sephora)

For no annual fee and cashback the recently revised Amex Blue Everyday card is a no brainer 3% back on groceries, gas, and online purchases! For points the American Express Gold is the only option the annual fee is $150 after the corporate advantage program and you get 4x at groceries and restaurants and 3x on flights plus $240 in food credits for a negative effective annual fee. The platinum card is a little cheugy now, half the credits are useless and if you don’t have a 3 hour plus layover don’t expect to get into a century lounge. Plus they recently got rid of a true dedicated phone line for platinum uses and the concierge cannot do anything other than book restaurant and tickets that you could find yourself for cheaper except for a couple events a year, most of which are in NYC. Outside of Amex go for the Chase Freedom Flex and Chase Sapphire Reserve combo for some seriously great modifiers for an effective $250 annual fee

529 NY question. I want to setup an account for my daughter. Planning to contribute $10K to maximize the tax deduction as a married couple.
(1) Should my wife and I setup two accounts for our daughter with $5K each? Or ok to setup a single account under one of our names?
(2) Understand $10K is below the annual gift tax but 529 is considered a gift. Is it good practise to document this in some shape/form? Like a one page doc that my wife and I sign stating we gifted to a 529 $10K in 2022.
Thanks
