For all of the “credits” and reward nights given to cardholders annually, do those expire if you don’t use them before your next anniversary date, or does that roll over? I’m thinking about CSP’s $50 hotel credit and the reward nights given by IHG, World of Hyatt, Marriott cards. Thank you!

Why do you consult? Because It’s God’s chosen profession? Because it’s better to be upper middle class than anything else? Because you’re passionate about the art of recommending real world strategies that came to you in a Hilton night excel fever dream? Because after graduating from a big name school consulting is the best opportunity to continue your panicky need to be validated by letters?

Marriott Bonvoy question - does one night with two rooms count as one night or two? I’m assuming one but figured I’d see what y’all’s experience was.

What’s the rate you look for when using Marriott points? 1 cent? 2 cents?

First time booking a ritz. I’m a titanium member do I have lounge access? If not how much are they generally and is it worth it.

Just checked into a Westin and the front desk gave me a hell of a time because I didn’t have my business card or “corporate ID” to verify the corporate rate. I haven’t traveled with business cards in years. Firm doesn’t have an office in my city so no corp ID - and from colleagues, I know that the badge doesn’t include the firm name. Da fuq? Is this a new thing? I’m ambassador, fwiw.

Looking into credit card, most likely between emirates nbd Bonvoy card or the Emirates offering. Anything better out there? What has been your experience. My understanding is you can convert the emirates points to Bonvoy? Not sure if the same works Bonvoy —> emirates.

I am ~10 nights short for Bonvoy Titanium. Considering a run that would cost about a grand. Are the Titanium benefits worth it vs staying Platinum?

Can anyone recommend any Hilton properties in London?

Do you ever request a certain amount of points or just leave it to the hotel to decide?

Random question. Marriott loyalty users; has anyone redeemed their annual choice benefit to get discounted price on the new hotel mattress? If so, which brand did you select and are you happy with the purchase. Anyone tried the St Regis mattress?

London - alone for a weekend, got a great rage at London Marriott County Hall - any reviews on that hotel? Also any recommendations on restaurants/bars (I'm a huge foodie) and things to do alone

What is the most amount of times you have Applied to one specific company? It could be different job titles and different states but how many times have you applied to the same company? Sodexo , levy, compass group, Hyatt Hilton Marriott have Applied to all those 30 or 40 times over the past three years. Talk about insanity. I stopped applying six months ago I’m no longer wasting my time with people like this!

Has anyone stayed at the Andaaz Maui (or other high end hotel in Maui) using points? Going in February and cannot find availability.

Have about 200k Hyatt points, 100k Amex points and 200k Marriott points and trying to make a 7 day trip out of this.

Staying at a Hilton in NC and discovered a massive blood stain on one of the pillows after one night. The stain was clearly there before I arrived, but I did not notice until the next day. How many points?

In Zurich for tonight, tomorrow and until a Sunday afternoon. Staying at Zurich Sheraton, what should I do? Would love to see the views like lakes and mountains.

The thing about being a lawyer. I grew up not quite poor, but certainly in tough conditions. Tonight I bought my daughter and I two tickets to the world series to see our beloved phillies in an improbable game. When I was a kid, the closest I got was a game on PRISM. I’m a labor lawyer. I spend all my time traveling. Frequent flyer miles paid for the plane, hilton points for the hotel, rental days for the car. Sometimes this job sucks, but sometimes it’s easy to remember how glorious it can be.

Currently deciding between the Bold ($0 annual, 75k pts welcome bonus) and the Boundless ($95 annual, 100k pts welcome, annual free night). Likely won’t put any material spend on the card beyond first 3 months. Which should I choose?
