Starting to fly again from PHL to ATL + Seattle. Any recs on maximizing benefits? Looks like American Airlines is the best bet, but their credit card perks look weak AF and I just downgraded the CSR after many years. 😁

I’m a DL fanboy but if my home base were a UA/AA hub, I’d be flying UA/AA. So much time saved by flying direct.

As far as credit card, get the AA executive card and pair it what the Amex Gold/Platinum. Much better rewards with the gold but better benefits with the Platinum. Also how much do you spend per year on a credit card? This helps a lot

You would have no issue with the annual fees then. You could spend $40k on the executive to get 10k more loyalty points and with a few flights you could be Platinum/Pro in no time.

Platinum Amex. Benefits are great and access to lots of lounges if you’re traveling a lot.

Then fly delta from PHL. The only way I’d do American is if you do the 6am Monday flight.

Crying for my RSUs….started at my company about 6 months ago and got some RSUs split over 3 years. Turns out the stock price at time of my hiring (which is what was used to calculate the number of shares over the three years) was the highest it’s ever been. Stock price has been cut in half since then, along with my RSU value. 😭 how do I cope?

Hotel phones don’t work because network is down and only local channels work on tv. Last night they had a huge leak in the lobby. They kept knocking stuff all night to fix it and then left a large floor fan running. I understand it’s tough reopening so don’t want to push, plus they upgraded our room at check in.

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
