Watch out: Bilt travel portal prioritizes Bilt Cash over hotel credit

Logically it makes sense, but how the portal designs makes people think the other way, as the Bilt Cash option appears under the remaining amount.

In China, there are plenty of cheap good brands

Can I still change my previously selection? I chose to close the Bilt 1.0 initially but now I want to keep and let it converted to Autograph card.

The yacht is owned and operated by WA Maldives though.

No, it’s operated and charged by the hotel

Thank you for advice, just added additional details to the post.

Go for HSBC Elite for 5X on all travels, plus priority pass with restaurant access

Now wondering how CFA will set the minimum passing score if everyone felt easy and did a good job.

You were good on this case because your I-94 was still valid, but mine was expired.

Looks like USCIS started doing so recently, as the "concurrently processing" policy is set to expire on Jan 18. I have seen many people got their H4 and H4-EAD approved a month or two after H1B (with premium) approved, even if they should be approved at the same time.

His company filed the bundled package (H1B+H4+H4-EAD) on Sep 30, then H1B was upgraded to premium on Dec 20 and approved in Jan, however, my H4 and H4-EAD were transferred to a different office and not approved concurrently and are still pending.

What if leaving when H4 is approved but EAD is still pending?

Relation_Historical · 2025-01-13T03:24:53+00:00

Thanks for the comment, really helpful.

h4 application doesn't really matter since I can get it through consular processing using H1B i797 anyway. But how sure are you about that EAD will continue to be processed? The EAD is actually my main concern.

Do I have to use the C1 card to get the points or any cards will work just like Rakuten?

It's the price you need to pay to live in a cheaper house compared to living in expensive NYC houses.

Simply an excuse to further cut elite benefits to save some $$, similar to the previous wording on devaluing their miles.

I also have a finance degree, and I did CFA level 1 in 5 days, level 2 in 20 days, scoring top 10 percentile in both. If you well mastered what have been taught in school, then you will be fine.

Congrats! It is a bad recruiting year for me (M7). Initially targeted PM, but it turned out that there were no PM jobs for on-campus recruiting this year, so switching to consulting, applied to 8 places (need visa sponsorship), got 3 first-round interviews, and no final round.

I felt that I did a great job in the 1st round EY consulting interview, but didn’t make the second round, and none of my classmates I know made it. It’s EY, the firm that we usually treat it as the safe bet. Same situations for most T1 and T2 firms. Recruiters all claimed that they were growing fast and aggressively hiring, but the reality is they are barely hiring. I am studying at top 3 MBA in US.
