Get the credit card. Gives you automatic 14 nights towards status. If you're platinum pay for hotel with the card and get 15 points per dollar.

If it's a smaller Marriott you can sometimes talk to the manager and get status/points if you promise to stay there throughout your entire project. It's how I got to platinum after 4 nights.

Also keep an ey on bonus point offers for staying certain amount of nights in a period on the website. Can easily make 20-30k points

Between the card and the challenges I made over 95k bonus points this year.

How often do you think you will be traveling in 2022 with COVID mostly behind us? In the final interview/negotiation stages with an agency focused on pharmaceutical marketing as an Account Manager. Offer states up to 30% travel (but was told 20% is more realistic). No further info given such as location of accounts I'd be working on or a baseline other AMs travel. Feels like a red flag. Not interested in much travel. Quarterly is manageable. Any insights from others in similar roles??
