BCGers, can you clarify how flight booking works? I'm curious if there is a way to earn United PQPs (from fare spend) when booking with the corporate card.

Yes, you book using your frequent flier number so you earn airline points normally. You just don't get credit card points.

Thank you!

We book through a portal that gets centrally billed to the firm (not put on CC). You collect PQPs as normal and you can see the flights once booked on your normal United.com portal

Thank you!

Where do you hold money for mid-term goals? I would like to eventually own a home, no idea when (maybe 3 years maybe 10), and have been putting money aside for the goal. I have about $20k in cash, put $10k into IBonds, then have RSU money vesting and ESPP proceeds cashing out. Sitting in cash for who knows how long seems silly yet putting into long term investments seems too restrictive, and IBonds are maxed out. What would you do?

A HR question I really want to understand. ISRS HR quoted a podcast "The not so great resignation" saying 70% regret leaving and many want to go back to old employer. If this really the case the employee likely left due to higher pay at the new company. If they want to boomerang back they will likely come back at even a higher rate than they left the new company for. So getting double raise when they boomeranged. Isn't it unbeneficial, why not just give employee a 7% raise in the first place?
