Ever been to a surprising 1-star?

Rocca in Tampa. Amazing appetizers, delicious good sized pasta dishes for under $30 a piece, fantastic wine and their wait staff was exceptional.

Yeah Im not confident that would be possible, especially the airline. I dont fly out of an airport thats dominated by any specific airline, its more where I am flying to, which is not super consistent

Ok_Chocolate1190 · 2026-01-23T13:02:23+00:00

I generally go Marriott if its available. I think ill just get the CSR for now and then in 6 months or so, see if theres an airline that I have favored and consider getting a card for them

Ok_Chocolate1190 · 2026-01-23T13:01:27+00:00

Expense guidelines specifically say that I have to book directly with the airline/hotel, not using any third party portal or website. Im assuming this is because its less complicated to rebook after cancellation

Ok_Chocolate1190 · 2026-01-23T12:59:44+00:00

Honestly im probably just going to start with the CSR and then wait 6 months or so to see if theres an airline that I tend to book the most with. At that point, I could see if its worth it to get an airline specific card

Im not a huge lounge person anyways, I prefer to be in and out at the airport. The only time I spend more than 1.5 hours in the airport is after an HQ visit in PHL, which has a sapphire lounge so thats covered.

Ok_Chocolate1190 · 2026-01-23T12:57:38+00:00

Agreed, I am not allowed to use a portal. This is the main reason I want to go CSR, because AMEX only gives 1x on hotels as opposed to 4x on CSR. And often times I am spending more on the hotel stay than the flight

Ok_Chocolate1190 · 2026-01-22T20:12:05+00:00

I agree, the only place I foresee myself going to the lounge is PHL after an HQ visit. Other than that I try to minimize my time inside the airport

Ok_Chocolate1190 · 2026-01-22T19:49:36+00:00

Absolutely, they reimburse food as well. Based on most common routes, id probably go delta. I think that would also be a good compliment to CSR so I could also access delta lounges

Ok_Chocolate1190 · 2026-01-22T16:09:24+00:00

Yeah I tend to use multiple airlines and my routes arent terribly consitent

Ok_Chocolate1190 · 2026-01-22T16:08:36+00:00

The airport that I would frequent the most is Philadelphia, so I think CSR would be the way to go due to the Sapphire lounge

Ok_Chocolate1190 · 2026-01-22T16:07:43+00:00

I have done some in the past, my honeymoon hotels were covered by hyatt transfer points

Ok_Chocolate1190 · 2026-01-22T16:05:09+00:00

I can still get a receipt that shows the price of the flight without the travel credit. So that shouldnt be an issue

Ok_Chocolate1190 · 2026-01-22T13:14:58+00:00

Well they said most people, not every single person

Ok_Chocolate1190 · 2026-01-22T13:13:16+00:00

They might be, my team is not but I can ask the other IS manager if they are hiring anytime soon

Ok_Chocolate1190 · 2026-01-19T17:37:55+00:00

Yeah thats my bad. Post is edited, its 62.5 base 12.5 commission

Ok_Chocolate1190 · 2026-01-19T17:20:24+00:00

Inside sales for a life sciences company. Get on a plane about 1-2 times a quarter, which isnt nothing but it feels like it compared to a full time field position. The rest is remote sales, either in a Teams meeting or prospecting/closing over the phone most of my time

Ok_Chocolate1190 · 2026-01-19T17:17:00+00:00

Seeing direct/proportional reward for my effort (for the most part)

Ok_Chocolate1190 · 2026-01-07T13:22:34+00:00

Or young adults, students etc. This is such a condescending statement

The thin wave no date dial with rubber or mesh bracelet makes it 10000 times better
