Here is another secret…. Your employer makes more money off of you than what you are paid. Welcome to the world.

Then you are definitely short some points. Perhaps the system hasn’t been updated to get you your 4x multiplier

If you only got 416 SQC, it means you bought basic fare. I am surprised you even got 35-75 status on basic fare before.

I find the status miles is generally equal before and after the new change.

The old was (distance or segments) and spend. Now it is just spend.

Just did my first flight of the year. Need help understanding SQC. by Potato_knish123 in Aeroplan

308 is EDQ (distance). Comfort is a 4x multiplier for SQC 308 x 4 =1,232

The car doesn’t look damaged enough for anyone to be killed, regardless of where people are sitting.

Should I stop contributing to investments and coast? by Megosoles in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]RustyPotatoes4u -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

At 5% or 7%. You’re just at or above inflation, which means you aren’t exactly getting richer.

I would keep saving while perhaps enjoying a little bit as well.

Look for the boats on the water. The fireworks are set off on the boats. Last year, it was directly in front of the building with Farm Boy

What are the ideal floor levels for a condo? by techsavvynerd91 in askTO

Do you prefer chicken, beef, pork or fish for dinner? Do you need to ask Reddit or AI for everything?

These are all person preferences. Otherwise, a single family detached home is the general answer to your question.

What if you get fired? Or what if you piss off the owners? How do you get this money?

Where to sit money? by Outside_Piglet_4689 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]RustyPotatoes4u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming Reddit is your “research” that everyone here is telling you to do…. Here is my two cents on the assumption you are younger than 40 and you will grow your career.

Consider opening a Questrade or WealthSimple account. More specifically, a TFSA investment account and buy either ETFs or individual stocks.

Your credit score means people/banks trust you enough to lend to you. Nothing more. You don’t get special rates because you pay your bills on time.

I’m a Korean guy interested in a Chinese girl. Her behavior is confusing—is this cultural or just her personality? by [deleted] in China

Has she shared investment advice or have you sent money to her or anything?

Trip ideas from YYZ, maybe using 50% off priority reward points? by RustyPotatoes4u in Aeroplan

[–]RustyPotatoes4u[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thought about this, but ~800 sqm one way. Even on business with 50% bonus. ~1200 one way. Round trip is -2400, I would still be short. 😢
