Date point for Euroasia: They've always cleared for me, if anything I usually don't bother using them unless I want an advanced guarantee since I end up getting up upgrade.

I generally only use them on family vacations and it's been hit or miss, overall rate probably ~20%

Congrats! What city are you in?

Man. I have never had mine not clear. But use them at hotels that are much more vacation than business. Where do they typically fail to clear?

It really depends on property and location and high/low season in my experience, no real pattern that I can discern. This was even a reservation on points!

I've stopped getting them. Just not worth it

Mine cleared last week at W Fort Lauderdale.

Wow!!!!

Do they really not clear in the USA? Or where are you all using them? I've been upgraded 100% of the time without any awards in the Middle East/SEA, and my awards almost always clear in Europe.

Often the Platinum upgrade occurs much more frequently...not sure the point of these other than they start looking five days out

Hello,
I’m a junior data scientist and in my current job I mostly code using Pyspark (no machine learning) so I would like to work on a side project that could leverage my profile and data science/ML skills. What project would you advice me to work on ? (it can be a kaggle project, or a classic task that you do at your job, or a paper that you read).
I’m overwhelmed by the many suggestions online and would prefer to get a suggestion directly from professionals.
PS : I’m not a beginner.

-use cases and features

Is this a good move career wise? Love being a PM and looking to grow.
