What happens if I make a flight reservation through the amex portal with my points but cancel my credit card before the flight? Will Amex cancel the flight?
(Been with this card for 1 year)

If it's already ticketed, I don't see why they will (or even able to) cancel your flight

Do you have another Amex?

The portal is generally a bad value. Look at transferring points to a partner. Eg if you transfer to ANA, 88k AMEX points gets you a roundtrip business class ticket between the US and Europe

I'll be in premium economy in an aisle seat. I usually take melatonin before bed and sleep on my side. Does anyone have suggestions for an OTC sleeping pill or pillow that actually works, or other advice for sleeping on a plane?

We live in a cheap apartment ($1.3k) that is sh*tty. Don’t quite have a down payment (especially not in ATX). Is it dumb to rent a house for a year at $3k/month while we save up again?

We both didn’t come from $ and are figuring out how to not be idiots 🙃 tbh we would prefer to rent forever but that feels dumb???
