Depends on what your HR approves. I've heard max is usually around 40 or they put you on unpaid leave.

Thank you P1!

I have never seen HR need to approve a negative vacation balance. The key in the past, unless something has changed, was to show that you would be at a zero or positive balance by the end of the fiscal year on June 30. However, were you to leave the firm with a negative balance, you may be on the hook for the monetary value of that.

#negative vacation balances are the way to do things like take a six week honeymoon without having to take an unpaid leave.

I am having a hard time finding something concrete in Fathom... frustrating....

I'm pretty sure you can go to -80 hours.

Found the answer. According to policy, however many hours you borrow you must be able to return in 4 months. Thus, if you accrue 10 hours a month, you can borrow 40 hs. If you accrue 14.7 hs a month, you can borrow 60 hs. I am sure there is some flexibility, but those are the rules.

I currently have a Cap One Venture card. I have had it for a couple of years now but I am interested in upgrading to a Venture X card.

No promotion has been offered to me to upgrade my existing Venture card to a Venture X card.

Should I wait until that promotion is offered to me? Or would it be dumb to apply for a Venture X card separately and a) hold both cards or b) close out the original Venture card.
