Hey Fishes

I will be joining Barclays Pune office in December.

Lost my small business due to COVID-19. I'm now looking for opportunities to go back to a career in finance. I have 3 years of previous finance/consulting experience. Please message me if you can help

Recently accepted a temp role as an HR admin for a former employer. Previously interned there & left because my supervisor did not have any growth opportunities planned out for me; this was in spite of my stellar performance, as reflected in my 90 day review. She has since left the company, but there’s crazy turnover in the company & in the HR department in particular. Just that an HR coordinator resigned. Is it worth going back into a dumpster fire w/ no leadership to gain experience?

90% of problems in the legal field would be solved if everyone set internal deadlines 2 days before the actual deadline 😭

Amex Platinum or Chase Sapphire?

Anyone flown Copa Airlines Economy? Considering booking some personal travel on it using miles and wanted to see if it’s any good

Why does Newark close tsa pre lanes? Terrible

What other cards to add to my collection? I have AmEx Platinum and Chase Sapphire Reserve. Fly Delta so AmEx is handy for lounges. Use Sapphire for dining/travel. Should I add Chase Freedom Unlimited?

Was anyone able to successfully get global entry after having a DUI on their record?

Had the CSP for 18 months. Do I upgrade to the Reserve now (no signing bonus) or wait until my 24 months are up and cancel old/apply for the Reserve to get the signing?

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)

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

Thanks!!

Places to stay in Chicago for a long weekend?

Looking for marriot, close by to food/nice areas to walk around if possible

Would you rather have 5x amex MR points or 3x chase UR points for each dollar spent on flights? Why? Company let's me book flights on personal cards and trying to decide which to choose.

Thoughts on the best domestic mileage program? Any recommendations for someone also potentially using those miles for international redemptions?

I don’t drive. Does that limit my activities if I am traveling to Hawaii ?

Anyone know if Hyatt can do a status match with Marriott??

Can I simply upgrade from Amex Blue Cash Preferred to Amex gold? Or would both just be open at the same time since one is technically a charge card?

Traveling to DC for 4 days. Looking for Marriott with parking and maybe concierge lounge functioning. Anyone use a Marriott recently they can recommend?
Open to other suggestions too. Thanks

Has anyone been offered a status buy-up for 2021. ~$1700 short of United 1k this year and think my travel will increase a good bit starting next year. Think it could make sense, especially given the 2021 thresholds

Does anyone know when the SPG Marriott finalization will be complete? I merged my accounts, but right now you need to earn platinum by meeting either or, not by combined nights for the overall program. Thanks
