I was platinum lifetime marriott... on the spg app, i now show gold lifetime. That should show Platinum lifetime right?

Where should I travel for Christmas? Looking for adventure and going to travel with other couples. Hoping to use points (delta/ spg)

Does it matter when you check in online for a hotel in terms of getting an upgrade? I'm a titanium elite Marriott bonvoy member looking for upgrades at Westin and Ritz in a couple of days. Any tips on getting an upgrade?

Anyone stay at the Ritz-Carleton in D.C.? I’ve never stayed at a Ritz location so I’m curious to hear what to expect. Will be in D.C. for a conference so my firm is covering the trip.

So my spg points and nights have still not merged with my Marriott account. Anyone else having this issue?

Thoughts on the Sheraton Kauai? I’m considering the offer they sent. Is Kauai a nice island?

Any recommendations on St Regis vs Ritz Carlton Istanbul?

First post? Ok I will start. My SPG nights for 2018 dropped from 101 to 91 after the merger.

Why platinum and no longer platinum elite?

SPG Platinum Challenge: Do I need to check-in the hotel?

Found a bed bug in a Radisson Red in Campinas Brazil, how many points?

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.

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.

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.

Going to Maldives in January for my honeymoon. Super excited. All on Bonvoy points.

I have a 5 night stay booked at the St-Regis. I am looking for another property to book another 5 night stay. Would you recommend the W, JW, or the Ritz-Carlton

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

Has anyone traveled to Switzerland and used Marriott points? Best area to stay? Traveling with a total of 3 and only hotels in Zurich allow for free stays with only points as others charge extra

Does American Airlines have any status partnerships with hotels or rental cars, etc? (Eg. Platinum Marriott will get you united silver)

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

How does everyone manage CT shirts non-iron? Guy at the store said wash on cold and hang to dry but they’re still wrinkled then and I can’t iron

I work as an AGM in a busy restaurant. Been working there for just over a year, and haven't had a single raise. I now only make 0.50 cents more than even the lowest paid shift lead but I am doing a lot more work. I'm no longer satisfied with these conditions. Should I try to negotiate a raise or look for other opportunities?

If I should negotiate, any tips?

Is it a bad sign if the company that typically moves fast (as said by former interviewees) is taking a long time to tell you whether or not you move forward to the next round in an interview?

Anyone worked on Budweiser? What agency?

How is EY’s SAP practice? Overall, so they focus more on new implementations (S/4) or auditing existing ones? How is the overall company focus on growing the SAP practice?

Anyone have slow months where you burn through a lot of your allotted pro bono/professional development hours to keep hitting minimum daily hours? The past few weeks have been like this for me. Should I be concerned (I.e., will this reflect poorly on me, come review time? Will I have dug myself too much of a hole if I keep burning my non-billable hours?) I’ve been asking partners if I can assist in any projects so I can fill my plate, but I’ve only gotten small (4-6 hour) tasks handed my way.

Is it ok to swipe on bumble while fasting. I mean I don’t want to but then I get notifications lol

Would someone explain whether Insurance Defense is the same as Personal Injury Protection (PIP)? Does insurance def include PIP? Thanks in advance.

what would be the package that will be offered to 5 year experienced Devops engineer in Jio AI COE, last drawn package is 16.1 - 18

What is Deloitte consultants reputation in the dc area? (Socially/personally, not the company)

Trying to get ahead of my caseload feels like trying to climb a hill made of loosely-packed pebbles. No matter how much I scrabble, I’m sliding closer and closer to the bottom.

How do you get caught up (or even ahead) when you’re always behind? Assume that all things that can be offloaded have been offloaded. I cannot take one more all nighter trying to get a motion drafted two days before the deadline because I couldn’t get to it earlier.

FL peoples: I signed a lease for a new place to start May 1 as my current landlord sold the unit I'm in. Turns out, the buyer wants to keep renting the unit and asked if I want to stay. Of course I want to stay. My new lease hasn't started so I'm pretty sure I can easily back out. For the new lease, I'm still pending full approval from a condo association as I have to do an in person interview. I have paid first months rent in advance. Is there anyway to get that money back?

30F here and have no BFF type girl friends. Anyone else?

I am so excited at the opportunity to go to my first SHRM meeting!! Slowly but surely this HR door is cracking and I know I am getting in!!! 🥰
