Quick question, please y’all. My younger sister is flying out in the morning on a Basic Economy ticket on AA. I’m not accompanying her, but do have AAdvantage Platinum and have 100k miles I wouldn’t mind spending. Is there anything I can do with my status/miles to upgrade/improve her flight experience in any way? Thanks in advance!

Buy her a new ticket.

A reasonable percentage of people who fly basic economy survive the experience. I’d guess her odds are better than 50-50

Hey!
I have credit card with last billed amount of 1,25,000. But i just received my refund of 50,000 which will be adjusted in the next cycle.

But for this cycle, should i pay the entire 1,25,000 and let my CC go into -50,000 balance or i can pay the lower outstanding amount (75,000) only?

My goal is to avoid any interest or fees.

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.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?

But it’s impossible to achieve from technical perspective with the money we have. You don’t think we already thought of that?”
