Just burned a ton of points for a last minute summer trip and now I’m over here stressing thinking I should’ve saved them for holiday travel lol. Do you use your points for spontaneous trips or do you save them for big redemptions?

brother, it’s a GOOD thing you used your points! They are only devaluing each day. If you’re excited about the trip, they are well used.

Neither, but only use them for saver redemptions

If you got good value doesn’t matter .

If the value is solid then you're fine. Churn and burn.

What is the drug culture like at your office? I assume people don’t openly talk about what they do in their free time if illicit, but they may do so quietly or you can otherwise tell.
Do you get the impression many people do them? If so, soft drugs (ex - weed)? Hard drugs? Non-prescribed study drugs? Frequency? At work-sponsored social functions? To an extent that it’s noticeable/problematic?
