If I convert my Amex points to Delta miles, do those miles count towards my MQMs? Going to be a couple thousand shy of hitting platinum on flights alone and want to see if this tips me over the edge

No. Basically nothing but flying counts for MQMs. You can also buy MQMs during certain periods throughout the year but they are ridiculously expensive and not worth it. Your best bet is to scope out a mileage run to hit Plat.

Beginner here. I'm trying to use my points to buy a flight to Puerto Rico. If Delta costs me 55k points on my Amex (valued at $600 per Points Guy), versus United which costs me 60k points (valued at $700), shouldn't I still just go with the Delta cause I'm spending less points?

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.
