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.

Anyone has any good corporate codes for Hilton? Downtown Chicago if you need an area specific?

Where are the good point promotions? Spg (soon), Hyatt recently just ended and those were lame. Anyone know good ones going on or starting relatively soon? Interested in rental and air promotions, too.

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

Almost 4 weeks in and my status is still wrong. It was correct for the first ~1 day and then bumped down a level. Shouldn’t be hard as all my nights last year were SPG. This is ridiculous.

Hi everyone! Can anyone tell me what you make as a typical banquet/events manager for salary or per hour? I’ve worked for Marriott/Bonvoy at the Ritz and for the Curio Collection with Hilton as a bartender/server/banquets captain. Now I’m working for a privately owned hotel and as a manager role in Banquets/Events. Because of pandemic times, what is everyone else making?

SPG app updated for me but not combination

Could any marriott employee share a friend and family form? I'll return the favor :)

Planning to visit Bali on May 2020. I have a wife and 2 toddlers (4, 1) tagging along. TPG recommends the Le Meridien. Any other recommendations for family-friendly Marriott properties?

Do Starwood reservations eventually come over onto Marriott after you combine? Mine still haven’t...

Anyone use a Citi AA Plat Select and a Marriott Rewards card? Any unique benefits from this combo?

Having to call Marriott to apply a suite night award to an SPG hotel on a reservation you made before the merger and combining accounts proves to you how much is still SO WRONG with this merger.

Traveling to DC for 4 days. Looking for Marriott with parking and maybe concierge lounge functioning. Anyone use a Marriott recently they can recommend?
Open to other suggestions too. Thanks

Currently stuck in risk but interested in Cyber. Have done one related engagement from a regulatory perspective. But a lot of posts here making me think it’s harder to break into than I expected (non-technical background). If you had a six sigma green belt / supply chain degree/exp., would you still go through the effort of going into Cyber or take easy risk money being offered / easier transition back to supply chain? 2-3 YOE and trying to decide career course, any advice highly appreciated

I often hear lawyers threatening to “call the judge” during a deposition, generally when there is a dispute among counsel over a question that has been asked. Has anyone ever actually done this? What exactly is the judge supposed to do, resolve the dispute over the phone?

Getting an opportunity to move from ZS Associates India to IQVIA UK. Can’t compare the pay because they are quite far apart (ZS pays much more than IQVIA). Thoughts on moving from ZS to IQVIA in the long run?
