Airline or get a Amex card with no fee to keep it around.

Aeroplan. Can redeem on United and Singapore no fuel surcharges

Search for availability on UA, confirm on Aeroplan then transfer from Amex.

Singapore has fuel surcharges last I checked. Would be awesome if I am wrong.

Depends on where you want to go, there’s no blanket answer here. Aeroplan is terrific for flights on *A airlines that don’t pass on surcharges (e.g. United, SAS). Avianca doesn’t pass on surcharges for any *A carriers and is cheaper than UA but doesn’t always have the same availability as UA or Aeroplan. Transfer to BA for short haul awards especially outside of the US (just avoid BA metal). Etc, etc.

Hello, I recently was reached out to by an in-house recruiter at a similar but slightly different company than the one I currently work for. The recruiter provided a base range and an OTE range. The lower end of that range is what I am currently making. The higher end of that range is almost 200k more than my current comp. The role is almost identical. I wasn’t looking to move, but that higher end range would set my family up very nicely for our goals. But I am happy at my current company. Help?
