Planning a trip to London & Lisbon from EWR. I plan on using United excursionist perk so it will be 60k miles + $150ish in fees for both cities. However, I saw a TAP Portugal flight and both cities will cost me $500 RT. I’m thinking it’s better to go with TAP and save my United miles. Thoughts?

Depends on the planes being flown and timing etc but from a money perspective the 500 round trip is a way better deal

Lyft driver delayed picking me up 30 min, resulting in me canceling my ride and asking hotel to call me a “yellow taxi” to get to the airport because it was 5am and all ubers/lyfts were 15 min. Specifically said yellow. Hotel calls me a private lux SUV and the driver got out of the car to handshake the man who called and said hi (honestly money couldve been passed). I then get hit with a $180 ride. Marriott website says taxi should be $65. Should I complain or let it go?

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.
