What’s the latest credit card you signed up for and why? Seeing if there’s any benefits or good sign up offers I haven’t seen. Mine was the Amazon Prime VISA with 5% back on Amazon and Whole Foods.

Citibank AA Advantage card... no annual fee for the first year and 50k AA miles if you spend $2.5k in the first 3 months. I should have enough miles for business class round trip flights to Asia once I get the sign up bonus

CapOne Savor, 4% entertainment, $300 bonus. Got it to purchase ski passes for next year and a birthday bash at the club (pre Corona)

Fidelity card. It’s 2% and no fee. All of the cash back I put back into my kids 529 accounts. I know there are better cards out there but this one helps me save for my kids college more since I don’t contribute much to their 529s monthly.

I spoke with a recruiter recently about a position in her company and before we even began talking about the job, she asked if I needed an sponsorship, I told her no, I dont need one. But she continued to press on the subject until I had to tell her I was a US citizen. I dont know why, but the whole conversation made me extremely uncomfortable. So my question is, can recruiters ask you about your visa/immigration status even when I told her I didnt need a sponsorship??

I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.
