Just bought 2000 United miles for $80 to book a flight with miles. Now want to cancel the flight but they said the miles are not refundable. Is this true? 😢

Yes. All mileage purchases are non refundable.

Was mainly asking about this part. Stupid, really, from my end. I now have those miles in my acct for future use I guess. Just upset I overpaid for those miles.

Though I’m not sure which part you were asking about. The miles can be redeposited in your account for a fee that is dependent on your status

Unless you have 1k status. Then you can cancel anytime. 1k here :)

Nice! I'll just learn my lesson and not be so hasty next time.

Hello,
I work in SAP Data Migration space.
Can anyone explain the difference between PWC SDC, PWC AC and PWC India?

I am trying to get into PWC. here are a few things I have heard so far. Is this fairly accurate?

1. PwC AC is offshore counterpart of PwC US. Good salary. No travel opportunities. Average yearly hike ~10% Mostly technical work.
2 PwC India is a pure consulting firm. Salary better than PwC AC. client facing work. Can grow as a management consultant. Great Travel opportunities.
