My old boss used his IBM codes when we travelled for work because it got a better deal. He hadn’t worked for them for ~6 years.

I’m only skeptical doing it for rental cars

I imagine you could use it for hotels, but not for rental cars since that code includes the company insurance umbrella.

What about GDY?

Technically, they could ask to see proof of employment (usually company ID/ email) but has never happened in practice

That would work, but never happened to me. I've had them look through the "code book" with me to find a better rate, I don't think they care

Serious question - is there a reverse FIRE strategy? I like the idea of saving and retiring early, but the one hiccup I see (and sorry if this is grim) is if you die earlier than expected. I’d be worried that I would minimize lifestyle and fun for retirement at 50 but I’d die at 49. How about a way to work 9 months out of the year and retire/travel/relax for 3 months? This way you guaranteed your dreams/etc. are fulfilled

Hi Fishes,
What is the hiring procedure in delta airlines for senior Software Engineer?

Hello, I have received an offer from Southwest Airlines as a Associate Technology Analyst with their direct college hire program. Will be graduating in May with a degree in MIS and also have internships experience as a Business Systems analyst intern. The salary compensation started off at 66,500 but was looking for the 75k range and they got back to me saying the best they can do is 68,500. They also have a 401k company match up to 9.3%. Do you think this is a solid offer for this job market?

They didn’t ask for payment and message popped up saying watch your text/email for next steps. Anything else I can do?
