Just did an awesome redemption and want to share. 250K Aeroplan points (transferred from Amex), 115K hyatt points, and 100K bonvoy points.

Air Canada Biz from Toronto to Athens and from Milan back to New York

4 nights in Paros, 4 nights in Milan. Both at high category 5 stars.

Total dollar value of the trip is about $23K

Was also able to prove to my SO that my points obsession is worth it!

My boss fired me because i ask for clarification on my employment right.

I got hired not long ago. I realise some of the employee benefits i was told (missing in the contract) contradict with what’s stated on the law. So i email the boss about it and ask for clarification. Immediately after the email i was fired.

Just want to make sure people know this and don’t apply jobs in this shady company- it is called UniQ Biotech, in Delta, BC, Canada
