A1 - points don’t count for nights on premier plus, I’m confused

like

Get a Marriott premier plus credit card and use it for any and all expenses.. I’ve stayed 21 days only this year at a Marriott and I already have 89 nights on my meter :) not sure about the SPG Amex point system..

Merged Marriott/SPG status is pretty lame now, so see if Hyatt or Hilton will will match your status

A1 we can only use our corporate card for expenses :/

Read this post again. Exactly the reason why I'm off to industry. Cant deal with this cringeworthiness

M1 - I prefer SPG as it’s more global and has more hotel options

Anyone wanna offer any good advice here please?

Enjoy being local! That’s my advice.

C1 agreed. I just upgraded to premier plus and didn’t see that caveat until after I upgraded. Super annoyed because I put EVERYTHING on that Visa. Speaking of, has anyone been able to petition to accrue additional nights using the Premier Plus card?

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?

If anyone is interested in taking a summer trip to Myrtle Beach from 7/29-8/5, I am renting out my timeshare with Marriott's OceanWatch Villas at Grande Dunes.

I am ideally looking for someone to rent it out for the entire week for about 3K total. Message me for more information!
