Now that EY is ditching the platinum Amex, I gotta spend my points. What's the best exchange rate for spending? I'm leaning towards 1k points = 333 SPG points

Yes but the green corporate card has $95 membership rewards program if you want the points. Just no perks

You could just pay the $95 membership rewards fee and keep earning points

Why is EY getting cheap, just shut down consulting, focus where y'all make money in tax and audit, it's what you're great at, stop being douches to employees

No. Transfer to a foreign airline and take advantage of their sweet spot redemptions.

@EY1 I'm pretty sure the annual fee for the platinum Amex is like $400

I have a personal Plat as well, it pretty much breaks even - 200 airline credit you use to buy airline gift cards, priority pass, Centurion lounges, gift the Global Entry credit to someone

Get the everyday card. No annual fee and you can transfer points.

There is no need to spend all of your points

You want to be out of a job? Brilliant.

Waiting on an offer from D, ✌🏻️

Good. You're obviously an idiot.

I moved back in with my parents in August, and my mom and stepfather have demanded monthly rent. They are in no way poor at this moment in time, and in my opinion it’s f*cked up to demand your child pay rent. I bought a VR headset a couple weeks back and my mom increased the rent because “I can afford it.” Is this normal? I honestly feel used. Fwiw I’ve worked since I was 13, and hustled my entire life.
