Is it to keep the points from expiring? It’s better to open a different card that maintains the points instead of speculatively transferring without a planned redemption

Some of the gift cards are at a real good discount through Amex points- old navy, BBB, HD etc

Rising senior here. Interviewed for McK today and my parents (who I’ve tried to explain the importance of these interviews to) burst into my room in the middle asking me to do a task, right in front of the interviewer, and spent a minute arguing with me when I said I couldn’t. Just found out I didn’t move on to the next round and while I’m sure some of it was my performance, hard to not just be absolutely livid with my parents here who still don’t get it. Sorry, just wanted to vent.
