I’ve found that 70+% of my spend is on food in some capacity, so I get the 4x there.

I also make sure to check in on offers every few weeks and add them even if I’m not sure I’ll use. There are often Bonvoy reimbursements. Offers alone have paid for my CC fee, and then grubhub / Uber is gravy on top of that

Groceries are 4x points. And book flights directly at the airline site for 3x. There's also 10 dollar monthly grubhub credit besides uber eats.

I was just hired as HR Generalist/department of one/first HR hire for a small start-up. First week in and I find out that previous COO is in rehab and has made some some egregious promises around comp, additional benefits to EEs, and also made some decisions that cost the company a significant amount of money. Company has offered to pay for 2 months leave. Now it seems like owner and other execs do not want this person to return. What do I need to consider regarding termination? Is ADA at play?

Hi fishes,

Other options I'm considering are SBI life, HDFC life which offices are available in my locality.
Please guide
