All my husband wants is to keep his ambassador elite status @ marriott for another year. In terms of nights, he’s pretty far behind. Our 1st marriage anniversary is coming up, Is there anything I can do to secretly get him his status? Pay a little something or whatever? Please help!

Any folks out there from @marriott or @hilton?

14 nights away from Marriott Platinum status. Going to be traveling at least the first 7 months of next year. Is it worth getting the AMEX Marriott Bonvoy Business card ($125) to hit elite nights for Platinum status before Dec 31?

How can I keep ~9000 Hilton points from expiring? Am normally a Marriott guy, no plans to stay in a Hilton soon.

I am at 47 nights with Marriott this year and no more planned travel. Is it worth booking a cheap hotel that I won’t use to hit platinum?

Palm Springs lodging recommendations for a couple in their 30’s who loves golf and outdoors? December-January timeframe, bonus points if it’s a Marriott property. Thinking 3 nights at either the JW or Ritz (points burning a hole in my pocket) and 1-2 nights downtown Palm Springs. Also looking for your favorite golf courses, trails or restaurants!

Based on my remaining travel for the year, I need 3 more Marriott nights to renew Titanium. Besides traveling more, any suggestions on bridging this gap? I already redeemed 5 elite night credits.

Marriott bonvoy question. Have any of you ever been asked by a property to pay extra for an upgrade? I thought Plat and higher were guaranteed the best available room upon check in at most brands (excluding design, edition etc)

New Marriott ambassador program . Will it impress ?

I will lose Marriott Ambassador status this year and I am sad

How do I get the most out of Gold Status with Marriott? What do people not know?
Ex. Do you have to ask explicitly for room upgrades? Everytime? Or do they just upgrade you automatically if there is availability?

Anyone else struggle with having no friends/life outside of work? Traveling 5-6 days a week for 7 years, the only people who celebrate my birthday are courtyard Marriott employees at this point. Is the grind worth it?

Hi, will be staying in London next week. Does anyone have an Accenture rate code for the Marriot / Hilton in London?

Marriott messed up about my reservation and charged the wrong card. They say the will talk to manager to see if they can fix? Is this possible? Can I walk away with points?

Stay at Hilton Head and visit Savannah or stay at Savannah and visit Hilton Head amongst other places??

I just signed up for the Marriott Bonviy Boundless credit card. Will I get 15 elite night credits in 2022 itself or in 2023? If in 2022, I'll be just short of Titanium and might do some mattress runs.

Any tips on best value Marriott points redemption for a beach vacation? Preferably Europe or Caribbean, and luxury resort.

For those of us cutting it too close on nights for status…. random question: If I have a Marriott stay that goes into the new year, do the nights (like Dec 30 and 31) count for 2022 or 2023?

We’re planning to be in Kauai for a week in mid-December, but I’m thinking of extending the trip an extra 10 days. Would we have enough to do with a 4yo in tow? Or maybe not worth it to stay that long? Staying at the Grand Hyatt first week, then downgrade to Sheraton Coconut Beach.

Back for more going out recs, realized I’m waaay too young for the crowd at The St Regis Bar. Where else should I try?

Which marriott hotel to stay at in DC?

Is there a reason to have both the Bonvoy Brilliant and Boundless? I have 2 spots left under 5/24 and wanted to use them for hotel cards after getting the Chase Trifecta. Was planning on getting World of Hyatt and IHG, and then breaking into Marriott with the Brilliant, but wondering if I should replace IHG with Boundless and also get Brilliant.

Kind of disappointed with Marriott Bonvoy. Redeeming points is so expensive relative to how long it takes to earn them. Also it doesn’t sound like free nights are easily accessible without a Marriott cc.

Is Hilton any better?

Looks like I’m going to be 3 nights shy of Marriott platinum this year. Any advice for getting platinum without spending a bunch of money on a hotel for 3 nights?

Does 125k in Bonvoy points get you much?
