400k sounds way too pricey unless you’re doing air miles too... should be buy 4 with points, get a 5th free, max 45k points a night. Doing a suite in a category 9 in the Bahamas for 180k for 5 nights plus 70k united miles for roundtrip

320k for 2 rooms over 5 nights. 5th night free.

I stayed there over Christmas and it is very beautiful. Definitely more of a relaxing vacation than a sightseeing/active one so having the hotel be that nice was definitely a plus. They even had a platinum event (cocktails and passed food) one night. Really had a great time there and they were very nice. Because it’s a resort, you aren’t “entitled” to some of the platinum benefits but if you ask they’ll likely throw some stuff in (spa) or upgrade you still.

I’m assuming your booking 2 rooms over like 8 days to hit 400k points.

40k points/night*5 nights* 2 rooms = 400k points

Thanks for all the replies and I appreciate folks doing the math as well, but anyone else actually stay with kids?

Hi all,

I am an IT professional having almost 5 years of experience and want to move to Canada for PR. My CRS score is not upto the cut off. I need someone who can help in earning connections points for Manitoba PNP program.

As it allows having an acquaintance or a friend to earn those 20 points, it can help my PR application.

Anyone who is PR and resident of Manitoba can dm me to discuss around it. I am ready to pay for this assistance as well.

Hello - thinking of starting a small side coaching practice. Could use a bit of help because I've never thought about opening a side hustle but times are tough with two kids in college.

1. What is the best approach to collecting your fee? Each session? Pay the package cost upfront,? Other, and if so, what is it?
2. How do you collect it? Venmo? Credit card?
3. Do you have to register your business?

Thank you in advance for any guidance.

For expert witnesses/lawyers

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?
