So I just moved to a boutique firm that lets me use my own credit card for travel. Any recommendations on cards? I usually fly American and stay at Marriotts.

Chase sapphire reserve. 3x points on travel and food

I think the answer is Amex platinum for flights (book through the Amex portal) and chase sapphire for hotels. Maybe Marriott card for rhotels but chase points are more flexible

Wouldn’t Amex be preferred for flying delta? Or does it not really matter? Thanks by the way. Never really shopped around for cards

Why all the love for Amex Plat? 550 seems like a steep annual fee.

How often will you be staying at Marriott properties? If often, get the Amex Bonvoy. Fee is steep, but you automatically get $300 back by booking a few stays. Also, you fast track to platinum by getting 15 nights elite credit (or you can do a platinum challenge) and start getting 50% points multiplier. I’m getting about 25,000 points per week I stay (4 nights).

I’m pretty happy with the Marriott Bonvoy Amex.

Definitely AMEX platinum!

Amex plat business now comes with a year of we work

Southwest Airlines credit card from Chase. So easy to get to companion status which allows one person of your choice to travel with you for free, no restrictions. They have a $75 or $80 annual fee and another card option for $150 that builds points faster

I would cry if I could use my Plat for firm expenses. I would make a killing.

People selling risky assets at the lows just to pile into safe heavens that barely appreciate seems like an logical investment strategy. Please stop. Invest in broad indexes and throw away the keys. If anything buy more as everyone sells. This is not rocket science, but as we know investing in difficult times brings out animal spirits. And animals are dumb…Good luck all
