Nope. Unless it is lifetime status or something . Maybe also depends on your travel needs next year.

Look into a conference room reservation for 10 night credit .

I mean...it’s a bonus worth x points more than Gold on earning. So map out how many stays you’ll have at gold vs platinum bonus (50 nights worth basically) and then value those points. If it’s more than the cost of staying somewhere six nights then it’s worth. If it’s less, it isn’t...

Already got lifetime status for plat no difference regarding that vs plat elite. I wouldn’t worry about pushing for plat elite imho

I think it’s worth it if you are going to be traveling regularly next year and staying in Marriotts. Platinum benefits are significant compared to gold. Also consider that it’s a year of platinum status if you want to get lifetime platinum one day.

I wouldn’t think so

Yes

Look into a Marriott card for 5 nights

What about just doing a plat challenge next year?

I think the conference room loophole is closed. Six nights is a lot, but platinum status is worth a lot. How far from qualifying based on stays are you?

It's not. Did it last week, $62 for an hour at a Sheraton. I think it may be once in a lifetime now however.

Nah, 6 is too far to be worth it. Also depends on how many nights you’ll stay next year. But unless you think you’ll hit 120 nights next year, paying for 6 our of pocket just for the status isn’t worth it

Thanks all

Plus suite upgrades, lounge access, breakfast (or platinum amenity points), etc

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

My company covers in depth results each week, including meetings set/attended, wins, revenue, retention etc. I feel as if evaluating in such depth is detrimental to the psyche, as you never get to “ride the high.” In addition, some weeks are simply slower than others, and it’s not always representative of what the results at the end of the period or quarter will be. Is this not a big deal, and I’m I placing too much importance on it? Or is it beneficial to review results less frequently?
