What’s the best way to accelerate Delta status?

I am new to United Silver and I purchase economy tickets. Is the best strategy to check in exactly 24 hours ahead and switch my seat to an open economy plus seat?

First 2 years for CSR is about to be over, and I’m looking at the value of the card against the annual fee. Combined with my other cards (Chase Freedom Unlimited & Flex) and deducting the $300 travel fee, the net benefit is $76. Is that enough to justify keeping the card? The lounge access at airports were a nice benefit, never got to use it since my client travel was through Amtrak.

Flying Qantas (One World). Will the segments count towards my AA status?

What does a 30% travel requirement mean in a job description? How often do they expect the candidate to travel ?

Got leaked on by condensation on my flight. They switched me to the same seat on the other side. Got leaked on again and got switched again. Would you file a complaint?

Anyone in here doing pursuits? What is director level travel like?

Looking for a watermelon pit ticket for Harry Styles the 24th the united center. Anyone have one to sale or a reputable hook up? looking to surprise my daughter for her birthday!! Help a momma out please!

My husband and I are thinking about taking a 6 month career break to travel. Career suicide or worth the risk? For context, I’m a 4th year big law associate (30 years old and no kids).

Does anyone have any connections or referrals for a healthcare travel recruiter company? Looking at Aya, AMN, MedTravelers but open to others!

Anyone know of a fast track program for status on American Airlines or is it just the challenge you have to pay for?

Starting as an SM in S&A on the strategy side in the next few weeks. What does travel budget generally look like? I understand first class flights are a no go domestic which sucks, but hoping hotel and food budget makes up for it. Also, does Deloitte pay for platinum Amex or is that out of pocket?

FYI - Just went on the Marriott website and selected the option to combine both spg and Marriott accounts. All stays and details updated. Past history to be updated in 48 hours. Get it done folks!!

Anyone w hotel mgmt experience willing to talk? Parents own a hotel that is suffering greatly but could be amazing. I know nothing and am not at the table and my generation is not wanted there.

Hi fellow fish need some advice.

I'm planning a wedding and wondering if I should apply for new credit cards to maximize on points. If so, wondering what your recommendations are and or if there are new cards out there I haven't heard of yet. For context I probably have another 20k+ in expenses to pay still and my current cards are:

CSP
Marriott Bonvoy Boundless
Citi double cash
Random card (used to be uber)

Just spent 15 minutes buying a flight on the jet blue app... is there software really that slow?

H1b fish who were terminated by your former employers, did your employers offer flight ticket back to your home country?
My firm gave me $700 which is not enough to book a one way ticket in current Covid condition. I was wondering how i can negotiate higher amount. Any advice is much appreciated! Thanks!

Any possibility to get points for hotel not sending bill? Nights still haven't showed up in my account and I checked out May 26th and submitted the missing nights form.

I'm about to start my first travel case. SPG or Accor?

Do tech companies like FAANG hire strategy consultants? Starting at an MBB/T2 next year and curious if tech companies leverage consultants as much as other industries. Part of me wonders if they are in such high growth right now that consultants can’t add as much value, thus maybe a smaller presence. Thoughts?

Hi Fishes,

I have 4 years of experience overall.

Please let me know !

I had last round yesterday, should I try to reach them or have to wait for it?

Please let me know if anyone aware.

Thanks in Advance

People of God, in addition to strategic action, I think it’s best to pray for wisdom, leadership, and healing across the land. Please let me know if you would like prayer. It has been an emotionally taxing past few days for sure.

What’s been the sentiment on MARA? Is the blip gone?

So, Partners... What's your spending breakdown like? Curious to see what expenses y'all have. # of yrs as Partner may also help.

Thanks for sharing! Again, just for fun and curiosity.

Three job interviews with a company, last one creating a marketing plan and presenting to marketing VP. I received good feedback from him. Three days later recruiter wants to give me a call and “give an update”. Schedules it after 2 days. This morning cancels last minute as they are having “internal discussions”. I’m really annoyed and tired. Thoughts?

Expecting to travel frequently along the west coast this year for work... any credit cards/rewards program reccs? I already have CSR but in the market for another airline or hotel credit card

Currently Platinum on Delta flying 3,000 miles a week but headed to b-school in the fall with an American hub. Worth switching to AA for the next few months or should I keep racking up Delta skymiles?

Why won’t AA let me book business class flights with points if they’re available to buy cash? (Qatar flight on AA site)

Priority Pass (through my CSR) cancelled their relationship with the lounge in my home airport all of the sudden. That was a huge benefit of having the card for me. Anything I can do with Chase?

Can someone confirm if Marriott does not give complimentary breakfast with a points booking? Booked with 25k points and was told no complimentary breakfast..

Does anyone know when the SPG Marriott finalization will be complete? I merged my accounts, but right now you need to earn platinum by meeting either or, not by combined nights for the overall program. Thanks

Flight attendant woke me up while I was sleeping to give me ice cream, then I couldn’t go back to sleep.
How many points?

American Airline q - if I have Gold status and an American Airlines credit card - does that mean I get two free checked bags or one

Final day at current company tomorrow and I have 100k+ AMEX points I need to use before they disappear forever. How should I redeem them to get the most bang for my buck?

Thoughts on the best domestic mileage program? Any recommendations for someone also potentially using those miles for international redemptions?

What do folks think about the Uber credit card? I already have CSR and citi double cash. Worth getting it?

Heads up: Hilton is giving triple points during July if you use their credit card for booking. Good opportunity to make up to 54 points per $1. Time to stack up those points! Happy monday! :D

American airlines is so dumb. Was trying to purchase MCE seats for a long-haul. You can’t
purchase it online after check-in. And they can’t uncheck you over the phone. Good thing I fly Delta!

Booked a room at a Marriott property for the Kentucky Derby next year a couple months back and now they are saying they’re overbooked and the reservation isn’t going to be honored. Any help?

Staying at a Hilton currently and have had tons of minor issues in the 3 days We’ve been here. Room wasn’t ready for 45min after check in time, AC did not work, maids did not clean room...continued
