Following.

I use it to buy meals in flight rather than at the airport. We get per diem tho so it’s money in my pocket.

I fly Delta. Although amex got rid of the gift card loophole, if you pay for a fare using split tender (gift card then credit card), as long as the remaining fare is less than $250, the credit will apply

??? What are the steps to this??

I just buy WIFI and then expense it so I can double dip.

If it's "sold" by the airline, it's covered. If it's sold by a third party, it isn't

Other people in this group have recommended using the credit for the lounge. I use it for checked bags when traveling on personal vacation

I fly united and it recently worked for a paid upgrade to first. Was only $139 but better than losing the $200

It shouldn’t have worked for that so consider yourself lucky

Honestly, we use it for an airline we aren’t statused on— so it covers checked bags etc if we have to fly a different carrier for whatever reason...

I went client side and am miserable - it’s madness on this side. Have made it 90 days and would prefer not to make it more than 120 - but we’re in a pandemic. Half of the problem is that I “onboarded” remote and the onboarding was TERRIBLE. The other thing is that there is no process and I’m on a team full of managers who have spent 15 years at this company and have no availability to talk to me with a day full of meetings. I’d prefer not to quit without a backup but I cry every day.

I’m struggling on how to effectively coach a designer on my team who is a low performer. I’ve been working with them for two years.. but have not seen the growth needed to succeed in this industry. They’re slow, lack creative innovation, and have a hard time designing strategically (designs don’t make sense even from a functionality standpoint).

I’ve tried everything I can think of.. but at this point, account teams would rather request working with interns over this person.

Any advice?

I’m burnt out from trying to drive creative solutions for my team and clients. All everyone seems to wants is simple block & tackle tactics that don’t have deeper strategic meat to them. The briefs I read are constantly off strategy and there’s honestly seems to be a lack of common sense (e.g., don’t kick off a tactic the client doesn’t know about).

It sucks even more because pharma is already highly regulated and restrictive with how creative you can be. I just feel so spent and uninspired.
