Won't merge until 2018. As other said, stick it out with SPG until end of year. New SPG promo starts mid September = double points whereas Marriott promo is crap = 10k bonus points per 10 nights, max of 50k

How many more nights do you think you will get this year? Marriott isn't worth it unless you are plat which is 90 unless you do a challenge. Also, I bet SPG and Marriott programs will be combined wrote end of 2017 so not likely worth it to build status at both right now.

I will be at 71 by the end of this week and my project. Need one more travel week

Also SPG 100 for concierge...

100 is pretty worthless. But I love my points

Marriott plat is 75

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.

It’s very discouraging to continuously receive these rejection emails. With 9 years of supply chain experience, I am not sure why I would not be able to at least get an interview for entry level roles that require no experience. Not just this one pictured but others as well. I’ve applied to maybe 60 positions since May, both mid level and “entry” and no interviews. I’ve had my resume professionally re-written twice. Not sure where the disconnect is. Anyone else going through this same thing?
