Hello Sharks
Off topic: I am planning to buy or book a car by end of this quarter. I can spend upto 20 lacs max. So suggest me a good car.
Also, is it worth spending upto 20 lacs on a car? Why asking because constantly gets feedback from everyone includes friends, family and wife that live your life and don't think much if you can afford. I don't know if i can afford it not. But I am considering one time as well as running cost. My CTC is more than 35 LPA.

Luggage delay claim question

I used Chase explorer to buy tickets for my vacation and luggages were delayed for a month. Per chase term I am entitled $100 a day for 3 days. But the claim agency chase used has been asking for airlines response, which has not came (2month+ now). I am concerned insurance will use this as an excuse to never compensate. Is there a good way to handle this situation?
TIA

All the Delta purple outfits look like they ran a size smaller than the old ones - attendants don’t look too comfy.

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious?
