Will opening a united mileage plus credit card speed up my way to get an elite status? I can close it once I get some status. Is that recommended?

No. Those miles are only award miles and don’t count toward status

The UC passed are handy if things go sideways though

Don't close a credit card! Hurts credit score - just keep it open and don't use it frequently

I feel like every company lies about “working your way up.” You’re never allowed to blatantly say that you don’t like your position and you’d like to transition to HR or Finance. It’s almost as if once you get in claims, you’re stuck.

If you’re a manager and you see an employee that wants to branch out into a different department, why would you keep them boxed in for 2+ years?

Are there some background mechanics that I’m missing?
