Have 12k AA points expiring in a few weeks. Mostly a Delta (sometimes United) flyer. What should I do with them?

Any photographers have recommendations for best travel bags? I have one camera body and two lenses, I’d like something not super expensive as it’s more of a hobby than anything. Going on a few trips in the near future and would love to be able to carry it with me and have the option to switch lenses versus just taking one. My first thought was a messenger bag so I wouldn’t need to take it off my back but open to suggestions!

Can anyone describe Amazon’s culture for an associate corporate counsel,based on team? I’ve read a number of comments on this app and across the internet about the company in general but the individuals never specify what team they’re referring to. I’ve heard from two corp counsel that AWS doesn’t have the best WLB but Prime Video does. I’d be interested to hear what this bowl has to add. The more data points I can gather before interviewing, the better.

If you believed the CDC about the importance of wearing a mask and social distancing, then why do you not listen to them now?

Directly from CDC’s website:
-COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective.

-Millions of people in the United States have received COVID-19 vaccines under the most intense safety monitoring in U.S. history.

-CDC recommends you get a COVID-19 vaccine as soon as possible.

-Many people have reported only mild side effects after COVID-19 vaccination.

Not sure if this has been shared on here, but looks like Bonvoy is updating point redemptions to align with cash value of rooms vs seasonal peaks / hotel categories. So for example a Category 8 hotel in peak season is 100k points/night, regardless of nightly rate (let’s say it’s $2,000/night). I’m speculating you’ll see that jump to something like a 1:100 exchange so that the same hotel room in 2022 will be 200k points / night.

I am starting a new job and will be working remotely for a few months before relocating to LA where the job is located. I was thinking that it would be a good idea to travel to South America for a few months and also to Europe since I will be working remotely anyways.

People who have done something similar, how did you go about it?

Hi All! I am an EHR Specialist for a dermatologist and plastics practice of 13 offices. Currently I provide EHR support for roughly 200 plus clinical employees (providers, a laboratory and supporting clinical staff) alone. I also manage the iPads given to all clinical staff (hardware troubleshooting repair, purchase &EHR software). I also train new hires. I currently make 68,000 annually. Does this salary seem comparable to the workload and expectations or should I attempt negotiating? Thanks!

I’m a noob and can use some help looking for rewards flights. I have some AA miles and AmEx points. I am looking for business class flights to Europe for summer vacation (June or July 2023). I am flexible with locations and dates, have searched for Italy, Spain, France, and Netherlands. On AA, one round trip ticket costs about 450K miles! AmEx is a 1% redemption rate, costs about $5K for a one way ticket. What’s the best way to search for low cost flights?
