I don’t think you get most of the benefits - Uber credit, extra points on shipping and gas, as it’s only applicable for US journeys/stores. So you’re basically getting the same benefits as a UK AMEX platinum (unless you go to the US and use those benefits).

Any idea how can I get this escalated so that the recruiter ( Accenture employee) should at least be careful in future before fooling a noob like me?

Anyone’s company still going through the hiring process up to Christmas? Was in the running for a role at a consultancy and had an interview scheduled for weeks. Suddenly got it cancelled with no explanation, when I reached out 2 days later the recruitment team gave little to no explanation besides ‘recruitment stopping for the year. Has left a v sour taste. I have other interviews lined up but this one was a favourite.

Never had this happened before, so just curious to know if this is normal?
