It says on Bonvoy breakfast voucher that gratitude is included. Somehow they always expect additional cash tips?

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

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?

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

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

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

What are some perks of the Ritz?? I’m staying here for the next few weeks but I don’t get the hype

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

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.

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

Successfully made the jump.

Places where I applied and got an interview so at least I know they look at fed backgrounds. Might want to check them out. These were DC area.

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...

Best Marriott/SPG property for a couple’s stay in Amsterdam? End of December - want to be reasonably close to city center but not break the points bank (<~50k a night ideally )

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?

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

Which job would you rather have?

Everyone is a total moron, you are the smartest guy in the room, constantly needing to be patient with idiots who do everything the wrong way and they aren't likely to learn or change. You can totally coast and delegate most of your work away and be cushy.

Or,

You barely know what you are doing, everyone is smarter than you, clever and competitive, and you have a constant case of imposter syndrome, except it's not just your imagination, you are unprepared.

How many of you actually want to go back to the office - and will take a Covid test before going in? Anyone gearing up to do that this week?

Hey guys! Currently in WM ops at Morgan Stanley for the past 1 year dealing with alternative lending, I’m super underpaid with 3 years of experience which is very frustrating. (73k). Have been at Morgan for 1 year and looking to come over to JPM for an ideal pay bump, but would like to get into IB type roll. Any insight on what I should expect or how to go about applying? Maybe even getting referred? I have a deep knowledge of investments and always felt inclined to go down this route.

Any audit senior 3 and 1st year managers here? What positions are audit senior 3 and 1st year managers leaving big4 for?

Discussion post: I feel almost all consulting firms are the same. Mbb, big 4 etc. if you are paid enough there is probably less wlb. If there is good wlb there is not much money. Can you single out a company that you can confidently say pays very well and also has good wlb and also has good opportunities etc.?

What’s the interview process like for a Client Facing Senior Knowledge Analyst role in Banking Digitization at BCG? I’m fully aware that it’s not CT and I have no desire to remain in consulting. Are there case interviews? If so, are they as difficult as the ones for CT?

If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would it be? (Let’s pretend the global pandemic isn’t happening)

Anyone freelance on the side? Curious how much people are charging hourly for Salesforce Admin work these days...?

I was called into HR because a coworker overheard a conversation between me and another colleague taking about cable/streaming shows that we watched or recorded. I mentioned that I recorded a few true-crime shows. My colleague jokingly said, "I hope I'm not on your hit-list!". I replied, "Not anymore." HR pulled me in to say a coworker complained about me talking about hit-lists, and they were now scared. HR wouldn't say who complained, so do I have a right to ask about the resolution to this?

Pros and cons of working on an auto brand?

My browser history is failing me and hope y’all can help! I recently stumbled upon a website where some ad folks had compiled a bunch of idea/conceptual thinking approaches and if you clicked through there were past spots that had utilized that idea / way of thinking. I wanted to share it with a mentee and can’t track it down. It was a simple layout: grid of images w/headline naming the idea … Sound familiar?

What's a Restaurant General Manager salary in South New Jersey?

I don’t understand protesting during a pandemic. I haven’t gotten Covid and to me it’s not worth the risk.
