I just re-registered for the Electrical Power PE CBT exam on NCEES.  The earliest exam date close to my area was Dec 7th so I booked it. I also noticed there is a new practice exam updated for the 2020 CBT.  When I clicked "preview", I saw some similar problems as the previous practice exam...

My wife and I have the Costco Credit Card and their cash back rewards program is pretty good, but wondering if you guys know of any better ones out there since we really don't shop there as much anymore.  We fly Southwest 1-2 times a year but not sure if we should get a Southwest rewards card or...
