Amex platinum. I have made a 1000 dollars already with it. I got 60,000 points on signup. They constantly have 70-80 personalized offers on at any given time of which 90% are crap but the 10 percent make it up. These are things like 20% off amazon, or spend $500 at dell and get 100 back, etc. You get the lounge access and uber credits on top of this.

Those aren't rewards to the corporate platinum. That's regular or business

That’s why I have the plat as my personal card and just leave the corporate card as a green card.

I tried asking this in my own bowl with no responses, so seeing if other consultants have run into this situation. I’m on parental leave, I got an offer for another firm, great opportunity and pay. How does one go about a resignation mid-leave when you would start the new job before the leave ends? Two weeks notice or just say I am not returning effective the day of the new job? Any things to consider besides potentially repaying the employer healthcare premium?
