Does anyone here have any experience with Aspiration or Amalgamated bank? I am interested in opening a new credit account and can't seem to decide which one to pick.
I've picked these two because of their environmental commitments, but I'm leaning towards Amalgamated since it's based in the East Coast.
Edit: Unfortunately, Beneficial is only in the West

I have a business trip to Denver in a few weeks, but I'm planning on staying a couple extra nights in order to see the city. My SO is also coming along. Neither of us have been to Denver -- any favorite things to do/see/eat?
- We both enjoy art museums.
- I've heard good things about Wings Over The Rockies, but I'm not sure how it compares to other aviation museums across the country.
- Food: We are both kind of foodies, but it doesn't have to be fancy. Any cuisines to look for, or unique places to go?
- Natural things: We might visit Rocky Mountain National Park or something like that. We have a rental car and don't mind driving if the destination is worth it.
