At most consulting companies, can you book a flight with points and have the firm reimburse you with cash? Wondering as I have amassed points more than I can use even for personal flying.

Oh I wish we could do this so much but part of the way hotels and airlines make money and continue offering great rewards for business travelers is knowing that points can only be used for personal travel.

Not advising this, nor ever done it, and only works when your credit card isn't automatically fed into the expense system, but know people who booked a flight with a credit card, got the receipt & expensed, then canceled within 24 hours. Then booked the flight with miles.

Lot of risk for a small reward

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?

Well I recently told a guy I have been seeing I have HSV-2. We have not yet been physical but it’s been heading that direction. Man I hate this part - waiting to see what his response will be after he researches and talks to his doctor. I’m on daily meds which help reduce transmission risk. You’d think that since HSV-2 affects 20% of Americans and likely a higher % of gay men, there would be less taboo but it’s hardly ever talked about. Anyone else in my shoes? Or had it disclosed to them?
