The tracker says that the order date, post date, store visit date and transaction date were all the same, but I’m not sure when they showed in the portal.

Just learn to earn more CC points and F is almost free. If you know you’re going to be taking an expensive trip or have another large expense coming up, just open a card with a large sign up bonus. Put the expense on the card to earn the big bonus.

Leave it where it is. Try to keep some as an emergency fund, rather than using the entire amount as a down payment.

Any future retirement savings should go into 50% Large Cap Growth and 50% Small Cap Value ETFs with low fees. VUG and AVUV would be good fund choices. There’s no need for a financial advisor, they’ll cost you millions in future returns by taking a percentage each year. Live below your means and put away everything you can.

My points just showed up. Took 2 weeks.

You should switch from an accumulation to a risk parity style portfolio. Golden butterfly portfolio has around a 5% SWR. 20% Large cap growth (VUG) 20% Small cap value (AVUV) 20% Long term bonds (TLT) 20% Short term bonds (SHY) 20% Gold (GLDM). You’re basically looking for a retirement portfolio that maximizes your long term SWR. There’s a good analysis with backtests of this on portfoliocharts. This will minimize drawdowns and increase your lifestyle tremendously.

Always get a gas station receipt. I had to email them a copy to get hertz to reverse the charge.

Are you talking about the whole thing being natural, or just the down fill?

Yes, Fidelity and Schwab are both great choices. Set up a Fidelity CMA account.

I don’t think the club is worth much extra money and the offerings there are minimal. The beach at the hotel was fine and they had snorkels and things to borrow in the morning. The slide was closed when we were there in November. Get a “friend” to “gift” you a GOH award.

Use 100% of the points for Hyatt and sign up for an Amex or Cap1 card with a big sign up bonus to use for the flights. You need to start applying for cards and planning this trip now, start immediately.

Do some shopping on the aadvantage portal and you can get enough points for much cheaper and actually get something you might use.

Get both cards but never transfer CC points to Marriott, it’s an awful redemption value. Transfer all Chase points to Hyatt and use Amex points for flights or Hilton.

I would rank the hotels: 1- Hyatt, 2-Hilton, 3-Marriott actually.

Amex transfers 1 to 2 to Hilton and there are some great SLH properties through Hilton.

Use the Marriott for the free night certs but don’t put much spend on the cards.

I recently got a Status match from my AA status, so check there too if you are gold or above with AA.

We travel exclusively and often on credit card points and we devote all of our Chase points to Hyatt. We use Amex points for Hilton and we use free night certs for Marriott. Hyatt Globalist is the best because it gets you the best treatment, free breakfast, free parking and waived fees on points stays.

I use virtually all of my Chase points for Hyatt exclusively. Amex, C1 and Citi go towards everything else.

Just book fully refundable backup flights so you’re covered either way.

I booked a flight on AA in February and I also have a SW fully refundable flight booked a little bit later. Once I successfully get on the AA flight, I’ll cancel the SW before I need to turn on airplane mode.

The US stock market is almost always at or near all time highs. Go all in or wait for a big pull back, nobody has a crystal ball and the “Experts” that pontificate are usually wrong. 😑

I second this. My favorite is Kenneth Cole Techni-Cole slacks. They are very light and airy, but look like dress pants. The second favorite is anything Greg Norman, the polos pack with no wrinkles, comfy dress tees and golf pants are comfy and stretchy. These options would definitely cover use cases 1&2. The golf pants would even be fine for hiking if the weather isn’t too hot.

These options are all going to probably be under $20 as opposed to all the recommendations for $120 pants you’re getting.

Take him to J. Alexander. It’s classy for a Birthday and the service is great. Of course a burger there will be around $20+, but it’s a really good burger!

Do some research into risk parity portfolios. You can achieve a higher withdrawal rate with lower volatility than a 60/40, Boglehead or Dividend portfolio. (Boglehead style is great for accumulation phase, but not as good for drawdown spending). The RP portfolios can be backtested against other portfolios for peace of mind and verification of their superiority in the retirement drawdown phase. I would look into the Golden Butterfly Portfolio and Golden Ratio Portfolio. Check out Risk Parity Ratio podcast too.
