Looking to book a round trip fare from LAX to BOM in March in business class. I have 230k MR points and 94k UR points and wanted to leverage these for the business class booking/upgrade. I’m a complete noob at harnessing the value of my points, and was looking for some suggestions on airlines to look at, any tips/tricks etc.

Loan payment question. I have two federal loans. One has no accumulated interest and is ~$110k. One has about $19k of accumulated interest (I previously made an embarrassingly low amount of money), but the total is ~$140k. While the interest is still frozen, do I: 1) make payments on the $110k principal amount only to maximize driving it down; 2) make payments on the $140k principal amount only to maximize driving it down; 3) make payments on the $19k of interest on the $140k loan; or 4) ??

Qualified Dividends: I’m expecting $650-$750 qualified dividend in 2021. Salary and base about $250 total. Questions: what tax rate will the qualified dividend be taxed at? The 15% or 20%?
