Hyatt

Specifically the Andaz in Costa Rica has the best redemption value in this range.

Then somehow use the Amex/AA for the flight

Fly far away from wherever the hell you are and enjoy.

Save 40k more points and do an RTW ticket on Singapore.

Q for HR folks! For companies who have offices in US and Canada, how easy would it be for American HR team to set up a role & compensation via the Canadian office for a Canadian remote worker? Would be a lot of work? But i know companies like Meta and Spotify do do this.

I'm Canadian and applied to a US remote role. Canadians don't need a visa for this. One of the ways would be to use Canadian entity's hr/payroll services. They showed keen interested but waned since finding out I'm Canadian.
