Hello :) I am moving locally within the Bay Area in couple of weeks and all the movers & packers I am getting quotes from, prefer to be paid in cash (there is a convenience fee with credit card payment). What are the advantages/disadvantages of either method of payment? Thanks :)

You should opt for credit card. If they do a terrible job or steal from you, you at least have some recourse through your card issuer. It's worth the convenience fee.

I think paying in cash has some tax implications for the service provider?

FWIW I paid in cash when I moved and it worked out fine. My wife and I were present during packing / loading / unloading and didn’t experience any breakage or theft.

Thanks I will use credit card, don’t want to take any risk :) !!

Consider paying the bill on credit card and the tip on cash.

Thanks, so I am thinking if I would pay the bill on credit card, I might as well pay the tip on credit card as well.. how will splitting this on credit and cash help me..? I am missing something…

I recently sign a lease. The apartment will put my security deposit into an interest-bearing account and requires me to fill out a form W9. I will join EY this June and just wondering if this is ok in terms of the independence rule. I guess the apartment will put my deposit in some sort of funds. Anyone with EY has experience? Reading the independence brochure, looks like it does not specify something related to this scenario but just wanted to confirm . TIA!

Absolutely. Businesses can be ethical by treating people the way they’d want to be treated. 3 ways Airbnb can do this: Aggressively fight fraudulent listers, let Airbnb members control their data (allow data requests/permissioning/deletion from any state or country), and oh - make it easy for people to get their money back if their travel was affected by covid-19. How not to be ethical: marketing ethics vs living them.
