I have 800,000. Wondering what to do with them too

I’ll buy them for my honeymoon!

Wait for your preferred airlines point transfer bonus. Transfer 60,000 bonvoy points and get the bonuses stacked. This is if you want to have the airline points for when you do travel again.

If you aren't planning on traveling and staying in hotels anytime in the near future, redeeming them for experiences could be a good deal.

Burned a bunch on US Open/concert tix and great experience overall, as I'd never pay the cash prices otherwise

You won’t get very far with 100k pts unless you’re staying at a 4 points in the middle of nowhere.

I have an offer and want to negotiate

I am thinking to negotiate to

2. home base salary and have my expenses paid for

I know that's depends on the amount I have to travel (and potentially stay) but at the moment this is unknown. Past 8 months was just twice a month + 2 nights stay.

The only thing I know is it won't be every week, the return trian ticket is about £80-100, depends I could plan ahead.

My boss fired me because i ask for clarification on my employment right.

I got hired not long ago. I realise some of the employee benefits i was told (missing in the contract) contradict with what’s stated on the law. So i email the boss about it and ask for clarification. Immediately after the email i was fired.

Just want to make sure people know this and don’t apply jobs in this shady company- it is called UniQ Biotech, in Delta, BC, Canada
