Looking to purchase Aeroplan 35k or 50k elite status!

Bonvoy? That’s the best name they could come up with? I really don’t want to have to say Bonvoy points.

I’m in consulting till I make lifetime platinum elite. 4 years to go fam!

Should I get bonvoy points for a stay my company paid for directly? It was a $2,200 stay so I would like my points. So far I’ve only received points for my $20 bar tab. 🥴

Was super psyched to get that “Higher Elite Status” email from SPG telling me about this exciting new program where my platinum status is now garbage 🌈✨

Staying at both SPG+Marriot hotels coming up, and heard you could use #s from either program to stay at both. Which program is better to maximize points/elite status? Now gold in both from CCs.

Anyone ever have success with requesting AA to transfer a spouse’s separate reservation to your reservation so SO can reap elite status benefit (ie, early boarding/seat selection)?

Me wife and 9, 6, 4 year old boys looking for a great trip during the holidays. I know we are late to book. Looking for something warm. We are Hilton diamond and m/spg gold elite

Anyone willing to sell 100K Bonvoy points? Please let me know and how much. Thanks

If you achieve new platinum elite status on Marriott this week, how long does that last for?

Taking trip in November to London for couple days then France. I want to see vineyards hubby wants history and museums. Probably 5 days suggestions please. Would love to use bonvoy points too. Go!

Looking for recs for best bang for the Bonvoy points hotels outside the US? I found the Rayong Marriott for only 17,500 points (not sure if it’s nice in person) but that’s what prompted this curiosity

Using Marriott Bonvoy points for a stay for my parents: I have in the past used my SPG points and added my father’s name (by teaching out to the hotel after booking) to the reservation. It worked just fine and they even benefits fronm my Elite benefits (free breakfast). Just booked a stay for February for them and read the following “Hotel rewards e-certificates can only be requested by a Marriott Rewards member for a reservation in that member's own name. E-certificates will not be honored”

Do we loose all the Marriott bonvoy points if I close my chase Marriott credit card ? Don’t see the need to pay $95 when there is no travel for the foreseeable future.

Somehow ended up with Platinum Elite status after the Marriott/SPG merger when I was Silver. Just started consulting 5 months ago. Did the right thing and told the front desk and they let me keep it!🤗

Looking to leave Hilton honors. Which is the best alternative with a good spread of property?

Anyone flown United basic economy to Europe? Does Silver elite status help with the seat they assign you or are you still getting a crappy seat regardless?

Trying to figure out value of Bonvoy points- want to book hotel in Lisbon for 3 nights and it’s $315 or 75000 bonvoy points. Should I use points or cash?

With all the travel, it is easy to turn into one of those people who "get turned on by elite status". Then, every so often that status scores you an amazing upgrade in a beautiful city...

So since I still show 0 SPG/M points and should technically already be Silver Elite based on traveling the past month, will I get 10% points bonus for my stay this week or will I have to call?

Hi Fishes,

Does Morgan Stanley entertain the request of renegotiating the offer if one has a counter offer in hand?

Are there chances of revocation of existing offer?

So uscis contacted my company for site visit information. How common is site visitation, anyone has any stories to share on this. Also I often work from home is it time to stop?

I’ve been interviewing for a new job and am in midst of a few interviews where I have shared my salary expectations which is presumably low ($5k more than now). I’ve now been given a salary increase at my current company for $16k. I’m not happiest in my current job, but the money does help with the pain. When and how do I tell the companies I’m interviewing with that my expectations of salary have changed? Or is it worth missing out on the extra $11k to MAYBE be happier?

Temporary manager encourages me to work on weekends.

At the moment, my long term manager is on leave of absence for 3 months. We are currently trying to meet at deadline which has everyone stressed but my temp manager encourages me to work on weekends to meet the demand. Even though I’m already working 10hrs a day, this suggestion makes me draw the line.

Just because others choose to work on weekends, it doesn’t mean it should be expected.

I want the publics input into what would you do?

Anyone familiar with National Research Group (NRG) and its culture?

What’s a good way to find out what’s hot in insurance (PnC)? I cut my teeth in PnC but have been in health for a decade. Contemplating a jump.

How do you deal, as an empathetic, emotionally needy but also giving person, that some people can just up and stop caring about you? Not hate, not fight, just indifference -- it's horrific

Anyone living in southie know what the apartment availability looks like for an October move in? Do you think there will be decent places available? Does the market avoid the student rush? Thanks!

My 7.5 month old isnt interested in solids (I tried BLW and purees). He gags easily - twice the gagging ended up with him vomiting a bit of breastmilk from earlier. He doesnt hold food on his own; when willing to take a taste, he leans his forward and I have to hold food up for him. He was never was into putting things in his mouth either such as toys, even though he has two teeth. As a FTM, I’m stressed out as it seems like all other babies love food and are mouthing (cont.)

From the day my firm files my green card application, how long will I have to wait to be approved and receive my green card? For further context, I was born in China and only have an undergrad degree.

Hi all, I joined tcs on 28 Dec 2021, got project call on 29 and he said I'm already allocated to project and have my client interview on 3rd Jan 2022.

What will be the consequences here. TIA

Freelancing as a junior with 1 year of experience. Have not got a single book worthy piece. Is going freelance dumb ? Risky? Both? Just trying to gauge whether I should wait for a full time offer.

Why am I not respected in the industry even though I'm in MBBA?

Bought an Uplift standing desk that arrived Friday. Something is giving an error so it will not raise out of the bottom 22 inch height. Called them and was told it has to go to warrenty team who doesn't work weekends and takes 2-3 days to review the case.

TLDR : I bought a thousand dollar oversized coffee table......

Posted yesterday about getting into a wreck. My insurance has determined that I was not at fault. So the other insurance will likely pay. Do I ask them to reimburse me for the cars diminished value ??

Thoughts on leaving firm after being on the bench for 2 months?

EY folks how does the unlimited PTO work? What would be considered “too much” and does it go against your utilization?

Is MBB worth it?

I’ve never been in mbb or big 4. Just smaller consulting firms. Have a competing offer between FAANG and MBB.

I’m in tech and FAANG is more interesting for my career as well as preferred work culture. However, I’ve seen a lot about MBB here and kind of want to join just so I can say I was in MBB.

Is it gonna be killer hours? Promotion politics? Biases on my lack of education? hoping to hear what others have to say

Does MBB hire experienced consultants (10 yoe) in a non-expert track?

I sent 60% of my life savings to my family to help. I can't help but think I lost a huge chunk of my soul away and I feel like a massive failure approaching certain age and stage in my life. Looking to hear if there's any similar case out there and how you overcame this feeling of defeat.

Would anyone in EY tech consulting be willing to connect for a chat about the practice and maybe offer a referral?

Saw it with my own eyes today. The people-pleaser of the team got promoted. Me who did the most work but stayed contained - still where I am.

Bay area fish, what are your predictions on the value of single family homes in the peninsula? SO and I work in tech in the peninsula in non engineering roles with decent household income about 5 yrs into our careers, but it's still nowhere near enough to comfortably afford a sfh in a good school district with a reasonable commute (minimum looks to be 1.5M). Do you guys think a near term correction is coming for sfh values or will they inevitably be owned by only csuite/high level engineers?
