Want to upgrade my flight on American Airlines to Africa this summer (part AA flight and British airlines). Since it’s a discounted flight would it be cheaper to try to upgrade 24 hours before flight or request to upgrade now and pay the points and copay (25k miles + $550 per ticket each way). Likely will upgrade going and not coming back

What kinds of models can I create for low frequency businesses?

I recently switched to a startup at a data analyst role and have been teaching myself about statistics…I found survival analysis models and wanted to try and implement one to determine our customer retention rate and eventually a LTV

I used Chase explorer to buy tickets for my vacation and luggages were delayed for a month. Per chase term I am entitled $100 a day for 3 days.
