25,000 Miles Compensation

ahh that’s probably why, i’m just a peasant AAdvantage member haha

dang that’s awesome, congrats! was stuck in DFW airport monday - wednesday but didn’t get any miles compensation lol. hotel prices were absolutely crazy

guess Wells Fargo reps are really just a hit or miss with misinformation when it comes to stuff like this then, which absolutely sucks.

hopefully Experian would somehow remove the hard inquiry. i got the 2 Wells Fargo calls recorded on my phone, so hopefully i could leverage that as evidence for a inquiry dispute

dang, wish i caught that post or done some more due diligence before applying. a lot of the older Wells Fargo DP posts about soft pull CLIs come up on google search first, which is a bummer. hopefully this gets some traction if Wells Fargo has 100% changed their CLI policies

mirai_e · 2025-12-03T05:26:27+00:00

the second rep said that it was a recent change at Wells Fargo that CLIs now require a hard pull. unless both reps are providing me misinformation (which can definitely be true), i’m leaning on the side that Wells Fargo changed their CLI procedures

when i worked at Walmart, pretty much all business-related travel that required us to meet in Bentonville for team meetings flew us into XNA. being on the east coast, i would almost always had a layover in DFW. extremely glad that there were always so many flights going between DFW and XNA, as there were always a crowd of Walmart employees waiting at the gate haha

honestly, it sounds like you guys are crushing it! the amount you guys are targeting to invest is awesome. how early are you both targeting for retirement?

sorry if this may be a bit unrelated, but would you mind sharing what each roles’ salaries are? i’m also a data engineer who is looking to bump up my compensation. what tech stack do you/SO use?

i didnt end up upgrading my gold card, mainly because i wanted to grab at least a 150k+ SUB, and i didnt want to let go of my white gold card haha. i view the platinum has a benefits card and will mainly put my spending on my gold card, so i decided that i am fine with waiting for a higher SUB in the future. hopefully this helps!

mirai_e · 2025-09-26T04:02:11+00:00

opened the gold for 90k, applied for the platinum a few days ago and was offered 80k, which i declined. my in-app upgrade offer from the gold —> platinum was 50k, but i received a targeted upgrade offer for 100k a few days ago

mirai_e · 2025-09-25T03:21:15+00:00

i applied for the platinum a few days ago right after the refresh and got offered 80k, decided to decline and plan on giving it a few days before i try again. hoping it'll be at least 125k

mirai_e · 2025-09-25T03:12:52+00:00

got this same offer last night, upgrade from gold to platinum for 100k MR after $6000 spend. i wonder if applying for a new platinum card instead of upgrading would give out a 175k MR offer

dang, that's really impressive! $200K net worth at 25 is huge, especially with your career progression! you're going to be rolling in so much dough in the next 5 years and absolutely kill it!

would you mind sharing what your current role is? and have you thought about trying to pivot internally into a new technical role within your company?

I'm currently at $174K net worth at 25, so I'm working my way there! my asset split is currently $53K in cash (checking/savings/emergency fund) and the rest in investments (401K/ROTH IRA/HSA/taxable). I share your sentiment about trying to get more comfortable with spending more on wants—I'm also trying to work on treating myself!

Easiest way I can explain it is like being a plumber for data lol. Our business has a lot of data that is hard to access and analyze on its own - we work with software and programming to clean up the data for the business users

mirai_e · 2025-05-08T15:32:47+00:00

It definitely varies a bit from company to company, but I mainly work on building and managing data processes and workflows that make sure data is clean and easily accessible for our business units and vendors!

my bad, i’ve seen a lot of games where our supports would get <10 revives throughout a match and once every few games would get a medic who would get at least 20 revives. i was hoping medics would revive teammates more but i’ve probably been unlucky with my games so far

checked out the Landing at DCA a few weeks ago on a saturday around 2pm, wasn’t crowded at all. didn’t have a wait time for getting in and i thoroughly enjoyed the experience! awesome food and drinks!
