What are your travel goals?

Really accumulating enough points I can use on aspirational trips. For example I have a friend getting married in South America eventually and want to use my points to that.

Are you under 5/24?

Yes I am

There are more than 2 Marriott cards.

I like the two AA cards. Barclays only requires one purchase

Delta Amex has a great bonus, even better with referral. Can refer if you are interested.

Delta SkyPesos are entirely worthless. I looked at a business class ticket to Australia. AA wanted 170k miles. Delta wanted 980k. I’m sitting on >500k Delta miles (sadly) and frequently check DL, AA, and UA award prices when looking at tickets. I have yet to find a single instance where Delta didn’t require at least 4x the miles AA wanted. Useless signup bonus and useless miles

OP, dive deeper into the Chase Business card eco system. Consider picking up a CIC or CIU for the SUB. You can always transfer the points to your CSP for the higher redemption rate.

Happy to provide a referral to either card if interested.

Citi AA you can get twice, Barclays AA you can get twice. Cycle every 2 years.

OP I below 5/24 so they should consider the value of hitting business cards vs. loading up on personal cards that push them beyond 5/24.

I’d actually go for the BA, Iberia, and/or Aer Lingus cards. They all have 100k point signup bonuses at the moment, you can move points between the programs, and it’s a distance based award chart with some definite sweet spots (like US to Caribbean islands and west coast to Hawaii on AA)

Serious question - is there a reverse FIRE strategy? I like the idea of saving and retiring early, but the one hiccup I see (and sorry if this is grim) is if you die earlier than expected. I’d be worried that I would minimize lifestyle and fun for retirement at 50 but I’d die at 49. How about a way to work 9 months out of the year and retire/travel/relax for 3 months? This way you guaranteed your dreams/etc. are fulfilled

Our district is so lax on the students this year. With tech issues and distance learning days, we’ve gone from accommodating to enabling real quick. No penalties for late work, taking excuses for attendance, lower academic and behavioral standards... We were beginning to make so much progress on transforming our school culture, but this year is erasing that and then some. Is anyone else concerned about how to raise the expectations and students’ self-discipline back to pre-enabling levels?

I used to do staffing. Involved cold calling And spamming clients and emails. People treated recruiters as middlemen, a noise and felt disrespectful.

But it’s not easy profession - to specialize and win in a niche.

I know it could be automated and give an experience to candidates and clients by making it ondemand, instant and specialization. I saw a Vision to turn this recruiting business into ondemand staffing companies like Airbnb - just publish talent and do the transaction.
