Was asking ChatGPT for some help with credit cards and points. Part of its response was - 'Amex is well known for having very large SUBs on its Green/Gold/Platinum line in both personal and business flavours; Make sure to acquire them in that order to avoid "family" language'. Can someone here explain what exactly I am to make out of that?

Why not just look up what "family language" means instead of making a post...?

You need to get green >> gold >> plat in that order to get all 3 bonuses. The biz versions don't have that rule. Skip the green if you're actually interested in the points game.

Also, don't use chat gpt for points advice.

Some people learn better from other people. That's why a community like this exists.

That just means Amex offers large sign-up bonuses on their Green, Gold, and Platinum cards, both personal and business. “Family language” refers to Amex’s rules, where having/had one card in the “family” (e.g., Gold) can make you ineligible for bonuses on another (e.g., Platinum), so this order would help you maximize eligibility.

Hello Fam Law attys!

I am in my second year as a attorney, I was a FL paralegal before law school and would eventually like to end up there again. I am in a very small rural area, pretty much only solos, and no FL solos appear to be hiring/expanding at this time.

Do you think experience as a DA or PD would be valuable, with my eye toward a future in FL? Both for the skills gained, and/or as a resume piece?

TY!
