I’m in your same boat and next I added was the Hilton $0 annual 100k sign up bonus card from Amex in case a project ever takes me somewhere where the SPG fam isn’t the closest to client site

If you don’t have chase freedom unlimited, I would suggest that one, their current promo is 3x all purchases, which puts you at 4.5x when converted to UR

Let me look into that

I applied for a job at Visa and was contacted the same day. A few days later I had a 30-minute screening interview with the hiring manager.

Have I been ghosted or is there still hope? Does anyone at Visa have insights? Looks like there are a ton of jobs posted so maybe they are just backed up?

My company is paying for one credit card. I'm leaning towards Amex Platinum given the large 100k sign up bonus at the moment (which I'll be able to hit). People lean towards CSR because of the 3x on dining but I don't eat out that much (and additional perks, but I prefer the Amex for that).

Should I grab the Amex Plat and not think twice?? Thanks!!
