Any recommendations on St Regis vs Ritz Carlton Istanbul?

I got bumped back to platinum elite on both Marriott and SPG.. after being gold for a few months now (have been on a local project for a year now)
Strange.

Has anyone held AMEX Bonvoy cards in two separate countries? Would both link to your Bonvoy account?

How many points? Caribbean Marriott Cat 3 property, 5 nights. They have an issue with the boiler so no hot water and shower stops in between. Ice cold showers for 4 days in a row 🥶. Hotel phones don’t work because network is down and only local channels work on tv. Last night they had a huge leak in the lobby. They kept knocking stuff all night to fix it and then left a large floor fan running. I understand it’s tough reopening so don’t want to push, plus they upgraded our room at check in.

Merged my account this morning. Quite a sentimental moment to delete my SPG app. Bye bye you purple little guy

Will my lifetime SPG nights and lifetime Marriott nights get combined in the new Marriott program?

Why platinum and no longer platinum elite?

Anyone do the 15 nights mandatory quarantine in Taiwan? I need to go back for visa reasons and looking up which hotel to stay at. Thinking of staying in Marriott for the points but would love any recs! Can I use someone’s Marriott Bonvoy Ambassador Elite contact or something? Overwhelmed with this whole process 🥲

FYI - Just went on the Marriott website and selected the option to combine both spg and Marriott accounts. All stays and details updated. Past history to be updated in 48 hours. Get it done folks!!

Do Starwood reservations eventually come over onto Marriott after you combine? Mine still haven’t...

Having to call Marriott to apply a suite night award to an SPG hotel on a reservation you made before the merger and combining accounts proves to you how much is still SO WRONG with this merger.

Hello Fishes, what does grade 28 signifies in Optum. Wht is the salary range in this grade?

Business Analyst (Internal Hire) working in freight technology knowing I am incredibly underpaid.

I’m in my 2nd month as an internal hire (formerly a Pricing Analyst). I did negotiate for a higher salary when I made the transition receiving nothing but the promise of a conversation to reevaluate in three months.

I’ve been able to hit the ground running, picking up the slack, and have delivered tickets as if I was already a Business Analyst.
