Planning a trip to Rome and Naples with day trips to Tivoli and Pompeii. Is 1 week enough? I feel like reading through 3/4 day Rome and 2 day Naples itineraries, the trip seems rushed. I have unlimited PTO but my SO is limited in time (but luckily he can work extra hrs and then use less PTO). I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts? For reference, I did Venice-Florence-Rome in a week and it seemed okay but it also wasn’t as planned out

Has anyone been to the UK lately from the US? What are the Covid requirements / restrictions? Thank you!

Hey fam, I'm going to Banff in 2 weeks. How bad are the lines to get into parks for lake Louise and lake moraine. I'm staying at the kananaski resort for distance consideration

Switching jobs soon and will have a couple weeks at the end of November/start of December before the new job starts. Does anyone have any recommendations on a quick trip. I’m based in Chicago. Prefer international, since I’ve traveled to most places in the US. Thank you!

Is taking the bus to work as convenient as taking the tube? Thinking of getting a place that by bus has a lesser commute than train but worried about traffic, frequency, etc. of the bus. Basically 20 mins bus vs 27 mins tube? Thanks!

Any good places to relax near Vegas, within a day or so drive? I'm taking a long road trip and ending there and want to relax somewhere before flying out. Ideally not more than $200 a night. Understand that it's the desert but thought maybe some good lakes or desert resorts nearby

For my fellow PC gamers out there - Anyone use their work laptop for gaming while on the road or do you travel with your personal as well???

Assalamualaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu. Any recommendations for hotels at Makkah and Madina. InshaAllah planning a trip in December for umrah. Also, is it just me or is the living in the zam zam tower overrated? It seems there is always a line for elevators and it seems to be a time consuming affair to get out for prayers. Jazakallahu khair.

Is Caribou Coffee on Monday morning worth it? Line is usually 40 people deep in terminal B.

Looking to visit San Juan (Puerto Rico) for labor day as a solo traveler. Anyone else planning to be there around that time?

Planning a last minute leaf peeping trip in early October through New England. Planning to go through MA to VT but flexible on itinerary. Wondering if anyone has recommendation on good places to stay?

Are lounges truly worth it if you're not doing a serious long-haul trip? What about the difference between flying business and flying first class

Traveling to Montreal tomorrow, any recs for food / sights / etc.? 🙏

Hey all! Need a couple book recs for an upcoming beach trip.

Looking for a great non-fiction, relating to travel or world history (not just one moment in time). Could also be about the marketing world or memoirs of a business leader kinda thing.

Fiction wise I also like fantasy, paranormal, and romance. Some fave book series are the Black Gryphon from Mercedes Lackey, Game of Thrones, and From Jamaica Lane series. Similar books?

Where are you traveling to when it’s finally safe to do so?

Does anyone here have multiple BoA cash rewards credit cards to maximize the 5.25% cash back with platinum preferred rewards status?

New to UR travel portal. I keep seeing that I will get 1.5x back here -- does that mean if I have 20,000 points originally, it becomes 30,000 points in the portal? (cont.)

Anyone have a ticket for Meduza at district this Saturday and not going anymore? It’s $57 now with fees and that’s too much. Might as well buy the VIP which is $80 w fees but that is probably a huge scam so guess I’m not going

Hello Fishes,

I have got my L2 Dependent Visa stamped for the US through the Wife's organization and she has booked the tickets for the both of us in the next weekend. I am currently unallocated in TCS and seeking projects in the same US location as my Wife. Can I travel to the US just like that and then continue my search within TCS from there or do I need any approvals to even fly in the first place?

I am worried because of the time crunch and will be glad to hear some points on this.

Hi Fishes,
Need your advice. Got HR call for salary discussion they are ready to offer 8.25 lpa + 1L joining bonus .
Is it good offer or should I reject for 2.5 years of experience?

Looking for a new challenge and have heard great things about Adobe. Does anyone have feedback on the inside sales/account management roles?

Hey guys, need some advice. I was fortunate enough to get the Consortium fellowship at Ross but am also stuck on the CBS waitlist and am still planning to apply to Wharton in R3. Assuming I get into CBS/Wharton, is there that much of a difference between them to forgo scholarship money? For context, I want to get into product management at FAANG/fintech with pursuing MBB as a plan B. Thanks in advance!

I’m having the hardest time finding a new job. I have 12 years of HR experience, a masters in HR, SHRM certification, and all I keep getting are rejection emails. I’ve never experienced this difficult of a time searching for new opportunities. Is this normal once you hit a certain level in your career or is it just me?

Hello Everyone!!

I've been working in the sales industry from past 1.5 years, but i wanted to change my field.
After some research i decided to get into Cloud Computing. I've done Microsoft Azure course and cleared AZ 104 Certification for Azure Administrator.
But because of my Sales Experience my profile is not getting shortlisted.
Please suggest me what can i do ? And if anyone can help me with the job.
Thanks!

Received an offer to upgrade my Amex Everyday to an Everyday Preferred for 40k points. Is that considered a good offer? And if I do upgrade, will it count towards 5/24?

If anyone is looking for a new great card - the new Capital One Venture X had an awesome 100k point offer ending tomorrow afternoon! PM if you have any questions or for a referral.

On a credit file, do multiple credit cards from the same issue count as multiple accounts or is that issuer counted as a single account regardless of how many cards

New to UR travel portal. I keep seeing that I will get 1.5x back here -- does that mean if I have 20,000 points originally, it becomes 30,000 points in the portal? (cont.)

Has any one worked as analyst at P&G before, just was wondering how is the work load?

Has anyone seen any decent MQD run ideas for Delta recently? I’m about 8k MQDs from diamond. Seems the Aeromexico method is on hold until they are fully back up and running. Thanks!

Why won’t AA let me book business class flights with points if they’re available to buy cash? (Qatar flight on AA site)

Heads up: Hilton is giving triple points during July if you use their credit card for booking. Good opportunity to make up to 54 points per $1. Time to stack up those points! Happy monday! :D

Anyone knows how chase sapphire travel insurance works? I used the first leg of the trip but cannot return due to an illness. It is cheaper for me to cancel the return leg and buy and new one way.

What is everyone doing with corporate card Amex rewards annual fee? Is it waiveable since there’s no travel?

Will end up at 65 Marriott nights for 2018. What would you select for your annual choice benefit? 5 elite night credits or is that pointless?

I have been searching for a travel card for months. I am a young guy who is looking to take advantage of credit and earn points at the same time. Cap One just released an interesting new premium travel card with a lot of seemingly good perks (Venture X). I also looked at the CSP and the Southwest Priority card. My girlfriends family has Southwest and swear by it, with companion pass being the differentiator. I am in the DMV area and have mostly flown Jet Blue or Southwest. Any thoughts on this?

Points wizards - I need some United miles stat. What’s the best conversion point source right now?

Thanks!!

Best Marriott/SPG property for a couple’s stay in Amsterdam? End of December - want to be reasonably close to city center but not break the points bank (<~50k a night ideally )

Best sign up bonus right now that is not the CSP and the Amex platinum?

Hotel recommendations in Sydney and Melbourne?

Need 6 Marriott nights to titanium (spend doesn’t matter). 1 - would any hotel manager cut you a deal? (Ie if 6 nights is 60k; let me pay 30k and get the nights and I won’t use the room?); 2 - where are cheapest Marriott hotels? I found 10k per night in burbs of Chicago? 3 - would any cheap Marriott let me run this scam remotely? (Ie call Abilene Texas, check me in without my showing up)

Currently have chase sapphire but thinking of switching to Reserve. Should I?
Wife will also be authorized user, we do travel and will use this card for all our purchases
