Worth doing United status match or save it for later years when close to exiting Consulting? Just started working and have Platinum on AA.

Do you need UA status? It’s not like you get to keep it beyond year 1/2.

Are you saying it’s better to take it up now and rack additional miles vs. have the benefit of being Platinum when you exit and the optionality of upgrades/benefits?

i would just save it for a year that you know you’ll be flying united a lot, beginning as close to the start of the year as possible, or otherwise giving you enough time to hit that status again

If you’re trying to min max it, try and do the status challenge as close to July 31st as possible. That’s at least if you plan on hitting it

Luggage delay claim question

I used Chase explorer to buy tickets for my vacation and luggages were delayed for a month. Per chase term I am entitled $100 a day for 3 days. But the claim agency chase used has been asking for airlines response, which has not came (2month+ now). I am concerned insurance will use this as an excuse to never compensate. Is there a good way to handle this situation?
TIA

Hi all,

I just got a job with Delta airlines and I had an accomodation request to work remotely as I am Immunocompromised. I provided all the neccesary documents to back up my request and letters and documents from my Dr. aswell. My request was denied because the team said they wanted me to have face time and one on one interactions with people from other team (which defeats the purpose of my request) because I have to limit those interactions to reduce the risk of infection. What do I do?

Hello everybody,

Could you please recommend companies with Internships in Front or Back End Development?

I have a question, I got a contract role through a recruiter. Initially the recruiter offered the hourly pay rate which was the minimum in my range. Now I got an offer from the company. Now without me asking her she increased the hourly wage to the maximum range I asked. Which makes me doubt if the company increased it or she knew the rate all along but gave me the lower rate ?

I was just informed after the third round of interviews they’d like at least 5 references, two must be supervisors. My last job was a temporary remote job where I didn’t really interact with my supervisor and the jobs before that were at my family’s business (I do not speak to any of them for serious personal reasons.) Anything before that was grad school and I haven’t kept in contact with any professors from over five years ago. What should I do? 😕
