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!

Just want to see if there’s a case for separate templates that I might be missing

Boss has WFH for 9months. I have been WFH for 2-weeks for travel quarantine/state guidelines.

I get the perspective of team unity, but is it wrong to feel there is no reason to risk my health? The company justifies increasing my covid risk (high-risk already) to “show face”, when my job is being fulfilled while WFH. Am I crazy?

Friday was complicated. So, I am going to break it down. Nasdaq 100 Futures (NQ) traded to the 9837 level, 32.75 points short of it's 50% HWB short. It then proceeded to sell off like nobody's business to 9846.50, 31.5 points higher than the projected objective for the HWB short. So, if you followed me on the channel, we were positioned for a nice rally at the end of the day. Markets have no memory on Friday afternoon. So, I think we are going up eventually and rally hard.
