Depends on your home city and the type of travel you want. I’ve done both. My two cents.

United: Polaris lounges are great, good international points redemption options, best business class internationally of US travel. Cons, everything else.

Delta: best customer experience for domestic travel (customer service, % of planes with more legroom, TVs and WiFi consistently work and are available on all planes, easy to use app, fair upgrades, not typically involved in scandals, etc). Not great for international travel or international points redemption.

Joining MBB in Oct and wondering what credit card to get.

factors to consider:
•Currently have CapOne Quicksilver (did it for intro $ offer a year+ ago).
•Backpacking Europe for ~6 weeks in Aug, so looking to put purchases on new card. Already paid round trip, but not the intermediate parts.
•Unsure how much traveling for cases, esp w the WFH situation.

Was looking at Chase Freedom Unlimited for $300 offer & % cash back, but curious ab other options. Corp card prob also affects decision.

My American citizen 8 month old is on tourist visa in India; current stay runs out on June 7. Flying outside the country is a risk we don’t want to take w/COVID. Don’t want to overstay the visa either. So we applied online on eFRRO to convert his visa to X-1 so we can apply for his OCI. They didn’t ask for payment and message popped up saying watch your text/email for next steps. Anything else I can do?
