Does paying for mileage boost on Delta help towards obtaining status. Only a few thousand shy of obtaining Platinum and have 2 flights booked I can add it.

paying for upgrade does

What? I thought that was the whole point of buying the mileage boost

The mileage boost gives you miles to redeem towards reward travel, not miles towards status

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
