TPG recently put Amex Plat as the top travel card - do you all think he's right, especially compared to the famous-in-consulting CSR? Would it be worth to switch from CSR to Amex even if I fly United?

Due to a family situation we are looking to move to a different state. Normally we would sell our current home and buy a new home in our new location.

We are moving from Vegas to Sacramento and we are not sure how long we would stay in the new area. Thoughts?

But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.
