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.
What city are you travelling to this week?

Save the $6k for sure...use it to pay for upgrades, if needed.
Also, spending that 6K for 1K status won't count toward 2023 status...spending it on tickets gets you PQP for the year/for 2023 status.

Yea this
I wouldn’t. Interesting they do custom offers like that though!
Too much.
Unless you have planned international travel that can guarantee you an upgrade that you wouldn’t have gotten on platinum, and you were willing to pay out of pocket for that upgrade ($6k>), I wouldn’t.
$6k sounds nuts.
The points guy regularly does articles about how much the status is worth (https://www.google.com/amp/s/thepointsguy.com/guide/what-is-united-elite-status-worth/amp/) and while I think most folks agree that all of his numbers are overstated, everything is laid out pretty well.
Ultimately only you can say for sure, but you could probably use that $6k for better things.
I seriously thought this was a joke at first, $6k is unreal
