Recently bought tickets to Hawaii on points. What's the best way to get business class? Pay to upgrade early or wait till a week out of day off? My flight is 8 hrs long. United flight

Wait until checkin and then pay for upgrade. Much cheaper that way

Sometimes not possible. Some airlines upgrade 72hours before flight.

If I remember correctly (United million miler) United does not let you upgrade mileage tickets.

Pretty sure you can if you have their credit card. They gave me the option in December when I tried.

I've just recently been hired as an assistant manager at a Canadian outlet store.

I was offered $42k plus bonuses at the interview, but when called back I was offered $44.5k plus bonuses. I already accepted. Did I leave money on the table here?

One item borrowers shopping for mortgages get too caught up in is rate. Most borrowers don’t know how to read a loan estimate and get taken advantage all the time. Just because a lender/bank offers you a low rate doesn’t mean it’s best deal. Most cases, especially now since rates have gone up, you are being charged points for some of these lower rates in the 4s. If you don’t know or understand discount points feel free to shoot me a message and I can help you review estimate and see if can beat
