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.

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?

I was looking for options to use points at Marriott hotels and they are only allowing lower tier high availability options. Even though $ per night is same at other hotels the points for one night is double or more. Are you exploring any other chains for stay ?? Marriott is not the Starwood anymore … what is the feedback from Hilton and other chains ?

Getting back on travel saddle (2-3 weeks a month for 2022) and have a choice between Hilton and Marriott for stay. I have platinum or equivalent status in both and wanted to know which one gives you more benefits, points worthy of booking travel etc.? TIA

Let's see if we can get a general collection of tips for travel hacking together. All the basic ones:

- TSA Precheck / Global Entry
- Chase Sapphire / Marriott Bonvoy / Amex Platinum
- keeping all your stuff in a carry-on makes it easy to avoid baggage claim
- Loungebuddy / Priority Pass for airport lounges

What else am I missing? What are the basic things everyone should be doing to save time / get a more enjoyable experience while traveling?

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.
