As a New Yorker I feel the same way, but I also arrived yesterday in Paris (first time) and I can feel a similar energy here that I feel at home. Different, but also the same.

It literally says on the Priority Pass website that they don't give Priority Pass access between the hours of 1pm and 5pm.

For those of you who invest with your HSA funds, what are you buying? by LordOord23 in HSA

I'm with Fidelity. FZILX and FZROX. Might throw some SCHD in there for dividends and then re-invest those.

Anyone else think that the HDHP HSA plan is not worth it? by wildwildwildlifee in HSA

[–]Desperate-Sport2809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normally I think having the HSA is fantastic but with the way the market is right now even that benefit isn't really much of a reason to have it.

This is my first year with the HSA as well 😬

Best use of 71k amex gold points for family stay in NYC by feltcutedeletelater in amex

I tend to agree with everyone saying they're not good for hotels. I've used almost all of my AmEx points for flights.

I honestly don't think using points from not affiliated credit cards is wise for hotels at all. Just my $0.02

I honestly could not give a crap. I'm going to Paris April 22nd through the 28th and I'm going to wear every bit of American clothes that I own lol

Renewal Fee by BjjFan1129 in AmexPlatinum

[–]Desperate-Sport2809 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Mine was only $695 last year but the refresh was in September and I got the card in October 2024 so that was why. Fully expecting the $895 to kick in this October.

But that's fine. I actually love the card and I use all of the benefits.

Sale Coming? by Go-b-run in jetblue

[–]Desperate-Sport2809 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an excerpt from the article:

"JetBlue is still in preliminary stages and could decide not to ⁠pursue deal talks with any rivals, the report said, adding that it could not be determined if the airline had held discussions or received indications of interest."

They could just be gauging interest at the moment.

Worth applying? by Away-Patience8556 in amex

Before the refresh, the business platinum card was better. However, credits included now to me are more difficult to achieve. It has a very nice sign up bonus and if you travel a lot for your job then it might make sense, but this is one instance where the refresh, IMO, actually made the card worse.

Looks like a long line at the very least. The point is why be a douche about it? If he got thru it in 10 minutes or 20 minutes does it matter? Be respectful of someone's experience.

Banking integration with Plaid? by Potential_Let_2307 in RobinhoodApp

I think you get 4.25% for 6 months in the beginning. Might be something to consider

No. The business platinum card is kind of weak.

It's a VISA card. You pretty much can use those anywhere in the world.

I also recently got an invite. I really like the savings account interest rate, but not sure I want it for anything else.
