With the 100k points and travel credit alone it's paid itself back more than 3x

Their 100K sign up bonus is being downgraded in the next week so if you're going to get it, get it soon! But even without travel (I am also currently on a local project for the next year), I think it's hard to top 3x points on dining along with their 50% added value in travel redemption

As long as you plan on taking 1-2 vacations that would use the $300 travel credit (which actually you could also use in Ubers) and spend $3333.33 per year on flying and dining out, you are good. At the very least, worth keeping a year since the bonus points for spending 4K in 3 months (just plan a bigger vacation, use it for anything you'd expense, and cover restaurant bill and have people venmo you) are worth around 1.5k in travel credit

... And I am currently on a local project and don't foresee much travel for next 6-8 months so not sure if can use their lounge benefits to the max.

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year.

I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
