On that note, dunno if it's been covered here but everyone should sign up for the Chase Sapphire Reserve before the 100k points bonus drops to 50k in a week. You will get hit with a $450 fee, but you get in return:
$300 travel credit this year
$100 toward Global Entry
100k points, which can be redeemed for $1000 cash back or used for $1500 towards travel through Chase's portal
$300 travel credit next year, that you could get immediately and then cancel your card before your 2nd annual fee hits
Basically pay $450 and receive $2200 if you travel a lot or $1700 if you don't, not to mention all the other perks that come with the card. Not a bad return.

Have a meeting with my PRIVATE BANKER to make the upgrade from the Preferred to the Reserved tomorrow morning
I switched basically all my spending to the CSR right away and have already booked a flight with points using the 50% travel bonus in redemption and had no issues at all.
Protip: If your boss keeps you around after a 7-8 minute trip where you babble and yell nonsense, drool nonstop, lie on your side on the floor and kick your way around in a destructive circle of thrashing limbs, and possibly break and jump out the window, you know you belong.
Never been here before but a few others in the group have and say it is much different and nicer than a few years ago. Either way Im in a 4 bed 6 bath penthouse with a private rooftop pool so whatever.
