Best use of points at a Marriott hotel. Looking to find personal experience on specific hotels you have stayed at and used Marriott points for your booking. Feel like spending 35k points at a residence inn is not the best way to use points.

Has anyone stayed at the Marriott in Glasgow? How’s the lounge??

I applied and got approved for the Chase Bonvoy Boundless card which, on the website, stated that there was an attractive sign up bonus.

Today, I received my credit card and benefits, conditions and terms materials. I don’t see that sign up bonus offer in written form anywhere in the materials I received.

Is this unusual?

Does anyone have a referral for a Marriott credit card? About to apply but thought I would see if I can benefit anyone too

Marriott or Hyatt?

I was looking for options to use points at Marriott hotels and they are only allowing lower tier high availability options.

Best credit card for hotel spend/Marriott bonvoy points?

Can we all agree that mobile checkin with Marriott is largely a joke? For some Sisyphean reason I do it every time, but it only is effective once in a blue moon. And here I am in line again, to check in for the room I’m already checked in for…

I ordered a new truck about 10 months ago that will be arriving in two months. The price is $36K. I can finance at 0% or pay cash but I was wondering if it was a better idea to pay with a credit card to get the points/sign-up bonus and then pay the balance on the card immediately. Is there any particular card that would be best for doing this? I have a Marriott Bonvoy card but it seems like all I would get from them is 7 nights towards status and 72,000 Marriott points.

Need destination recommendations! Looking to go to a warm, beach-y destination in early September with my boyfriend for 7 days. Want somewhere easy to get to from Chicago (probably in the Caribbean or Central America?) with good Marriott properties.

Any recommendations or suggestions?!

Has anyone used Marriott points at the ritz Turks and Caicos? Worth it? It’s 416,000 points for a 5 night stay, meaning it’s like 104k per night with the 1 night free.

Seems in line with other high end Caribbean offerings (eg. Ritz Aruba) but also that’s awfully high.
