Are you planning on attending FTU Seattle? Let me know in the comment section. Depending on demand, I may organize a reader meet-up.
Ticket booked! I just went to FTU Chicago and learned a lot. You’ve been my inspiration to get into MS, so I’m looking forward to attending in Seattle.
Glad to hear it – see you in Seattle!
Is the book available for pickup at the event?
I’m not sure. My guess is you’ll get it when you check in for the event.
Ariana,
We missed the Chicago event, unfortunately. As much as I want to attend, it is just way too far (Tampa). Any idea when, if any, it will be held in the east coast?
I don’t know, but they’ve held FTU events in Tampa before. I’m sure they’ll have another one there or close by at some point this year.
which CC do you recommend is used? Does this show up as travel by chance on cc stmt?
It’s not coded as travel. I would use either a card you’re trying to meet a spending requirement for or one that earns points you’re stocking up on. The Freedom ULT is always a good choice or Amex SPG.
I’ll be there but getting in Saturday morning. Your expertise in MS is definitely why I’m attending!
Thanks Henry! Glad to hear it.
