Is churning still possible in the US? I thought Amex sign-up bonuses were only awarded once.

In the UK you can still cancel and re-apply after 24 months. It used to be 6 months but those good days are long gone...

I have to admit I didn’t do any research and assumed that .me was available to anyone because I noticed it around the same time domains such as .app, .blog, etc. came out. Honestly thought it was supposed to mean something like ‘Hey it’s me’.

So I registered <surname>.me for me to use <name>@<surname>.me as email address.

My surname with generic domains such as .com, .net, etc was already registered and didn’t feel like registering my full name. This is pure laziness, didn’t want to use something like hello or contact @<fullname>.com as email.

Yeah it's a pain. Here in the UK it's not just FAANG and start ups. Most hedge funds and asset managers are following that interview style.

Even old school investment banks are joining the trend, which I find baffling because the comp package is nowhere near the above.
