Nothing. Private Delta Reserve helps me get more upgrades and extra miles, but I have yet to see a real benefit from the Platinum card. You get lounge access with airline status anyways.

Centurion lounge and the concierge

I fly out of IAH, so use Centurion every week. Great food and unlimited top shelf drinks - blue label, etc

It's not. Get a CSR

IMO CSR is better for personal spend and platinum is better for work - I paid to upgrade my corporate card since my firm covers ~100 of the annual fee.

What does the concierge do for you?

D1 Only DL gives lounge access with status

Does CSR also have a concierge? Haven't heard it being promoted.

SkyClub access. Reimbursement for Global Entry (leading to free TSA PreCheck). Centurion Lounge. Priority Pass.

I have a 25K loan from my MBA. I paid off 100k whole, after graduation. 3 years ago, I moved my loan from federal to private ( SOFI) account. I recently lost my job. I have applied for unemployment, as the severance that I received will only cover for 2 months. Together my husband and I used to make less than 250k after tax. Now, with a loss of pay , we are going to make less. Do you think I will be eligible for Loan forgiveness?

I am a traditional reservist so I never really used military benefits before, but could use advice here.

I am currently renting and my lease is not up until October 2021, however I found a good deal on a home and scheduled to close in June 2021.

My landlord will not work with me to end the lease early, so it looks like I will have to double up on rent and mortgage through the summer.

If I went on active duty orders, can I use those orders to break my lease early without penalty?

AT&T: HBO-MAX is probably top 3 stream platforms along with netflix and disney plus. Despite this AT&T trades at a super low multiple. Is this the next glow-up a la Disney this past month? I think so. They've already got an extensive library and have consistently over 20 years delivered the best shows on TV, period. I understand that the core AT&T business may seem like a "liability" to the valuation but I still think that their valuation doesn't make sense. What am I missing?

Hi Fishes,
I cleared LTI all rounds and in HR discussion we came on mutual agreement for 16lpa .I have 7 years of experience and they gave me Specialist - Data Engineering(P3) role. And we agreed I will join with after 60 as I had to serve 60 days notice period. I was waiting for offer letter and when I received the offer letter I was shocked to see that CTC mentioned was 14LPA and joining date was only 15days from now ,which is way early.
