Looking into credit card, most likely between emirates nbd Bonvoy card or the Emirates offering. Anything better out there? What has been your experience. My understanding is you can convert the emirates points to Bonvoy? Not sure if the same works Bonvoy —> emirates.

Don’t go for emirates cards, value for money is shit in those cards. Go for a bonvoy or cash back card

It is in Saudi, ENBD there

You can do Bonvoy to EK, but it is not one to one ratio and the value in $ is reduced. Ideally you use ur points for stays

Bonvoy right now has a solid welcome offer - 200k points if you spend $10k usd in the first 3 months. 100k even if you don’t

He said that he would try for fixed comp of 26lpa but no JB. Later he came back saying he can't get an approval for 28lpa & asking me if I'm okay with 24lpa & he would try to get 24lpa also if possible. Is he trying to get the ctc down or does he can't get approval? How do I get him to give the 27.5lpa break up offer? YOE:9y6m Role:Infra ManagerTata Cons
