Looking for an idea for travel the week of Thanksgiving. Up for flying or a road trip from the Atlanta area. I’ve got Marriott points if that’s helpful. If flying, I’m looking for something reasonably priced (I recognize it is a big travel week, but I can’t stomach $2k for coach to Mexico). Any ideas?

Extending a work trip in London, so paying for my own room for 3 nights. I can get a Hyatt for 25k points/night. Any recommendations? Or do I bite the bullet and just pay for marriott or Hilton?

Has anyone had any luck getting Marriott suite night awards confirmed earlier in advance? If I don’t get the upgrade to a 2 bed suite, I would have to switch hotels… I have ambassador status if that helps. Thank you

Does anyone have a range of total comp for a tax analyst at Amazon? I’m in a HCOL area, total 8 YOE - 4 YOE in public accounting then 4 YOE at Marriott-tax.

I was made an offer by the recruiter but it seems really low for my experience. 109K TC - 87 base, 20k bonus, and rest is RSU’s.

I plan to counter today so any input helps :)

Just got the CSR card. Debating whether to continue using my AX Blue Preferred (6% groceries, 3% gas), CapOne Savor (4% restaurants), Hilton AX for hotels only (no annual fe, and Bonvoy Visa for hotels. Continuing to pay for the Bonvoy is nice since it gives a free night every year. Also continuing to pay for AA and UA cards for the free luggage check and priority boarding, but don’t use them otherwise. I feel like I’m paying a lot of annual fees now and there’s something to consolidate here.

I'm 3/24 (Amazon card - 4/22, CSR - 8/22, AAdvantage Exec - 8/22)

I've almost hit my minimum spend for my August cards and would like to get another, although I'm in a bind because I want 3 additional Chase cards in the near future (Marriott, Hyatt, and Freedom Unlimited). Any advice on which two to choose?

Thoughts on the Hilton no AF Amex? 100k points and $100 statement credit seems pretty good. I’m a bonvoy person but free points seem legit…

Got Hyatt globalist for free and Marriott platinum for free. Which is more worth it to use regularly and keep up? I recognize it’ll take me a while to get up to ambassador at Marriott but still not sure which is better

Maybe a noob points question but if I booked two rooms for four nights and had added my Marriott Bonvoy number for both, do I get 8 nights in total or only 4? Trying to reach platinum this year and will get there if I get the 8!

I have 400k Marriott points and im planning a trip to Hawaii in December. Burn the points? Or hoard them for an international trip which in earliest likelihood won’t happen until summer 2023?

Is there anyway to double dip in amex and Marriott points?

Just booked a trip to Maui on Amex travel for the 5x points. Staying at a Marriott property and curious if there’s a work around to get the Marriott points for the stay as well

Do I drop down to Marriott silver or Titanium (from Ambassador) if I had say only 20 night stays this year?

I have platinum for Marriott due to a Bain promo. Curious if we have anything similar for Hyatt? Heard good things about their loyalty lately and my case is in a city with some dope Hyatt brands. Also, anyone else switch from Marriott to Hyatt and enjoy it?

Anyone used the corporate discount for personal travel at Marriott properties? I need to book 6 rooms, 3 starting thurs, 3 starting Fri. Right now, it looks like I can book 3 at a time. Will I run into issues at check in/payment?
