Moving from Asia to UK so will be cancelling my SPG amex card soon. Will my Marriott bonvoy points disappear or will they be preserved?

Also, please hit me with suggestions on good credit cards for points (UK, no credit history)

You will need to keep your Bonvoy account active (some activity every 24 months).

1. Amex is pretty much the only decent credit card which does points in the UK…

2. Keep your Asian Amex active until you show up in the UK and apply for an Amex here. Then use the “Amex Global Card Transfer” programme to use your credit history from Asia to get quicker approval for better cards in the UK. Then cancel your Asian one once you get approved! I just did this a few weeks ago.

3. As long as the points are on your Bonvoy account and not your Amex account still to be transferred to bonvoy, the points remain.

Didn’t know global transfer was a thing, thanks a lot!

Has anyone reevaluated their retirement methods after a life-altering experience? I used to invest a lot more ($5k or so a month), but after losing one of my parents last year (mid-50s), I’ve wondered if it’s better to just enjoy life as we are living it. So, I started investing a lot less. But I always see people on here talking about all of these retirement schemes (backdoor Roth, mega-backdoor Roth, etc.) and I’m wondering if there’s a happy middle ground somewhere.
