Anyone ever been to the new Westin in Jekyll island?

I’ll be 6K miles away from Platinum Pro on AA by the end of the year. Should I get another flight somewhere to hit it? Is it worth it?

Checked into my Bonvoy hotel tonight. Was able to get into my room to drop off my stuff, then headed to the lounge for a snack. Upon return, door battery had died. Took maintenance 30 mins to pry the

Going to Costa Rica in March. Plan to go from San Jose > La Fortuna > Monteverde > San Jose. Is car rental the best option? How easy is it to drive around there? Thanks.

Lead flight attendant announcement on Alaska/Virgin flight announces: “the best part of the flight today is your flight crew. They’re friendly and happy, not bitter like those working on American

Just realized I’m about 15k miles from renewing diamond on Delta.... Any thoughts on how to make this?

Need to stay in NYC for a few days. Attending a late night show right off of times square. Hotel recommendations?

W, Westin, the Lexington, St Regis are all close but I've never stayed in the city

Marriott platinum members, what kind of benefits or upgrade do you get when you arrive at a hotel?

Just logged into my Marriott account and my platinum elite downgraded to gold elite. That does not sound correct, right? I had to get 40 nights to retain titanium so it seems weird to skip two levels

I never get upgraded on New York-San Fran flights. Flying United. Have you had any luck with Delta or American?

Just wondering , what hotel chains do the following companies use? MBB, ADL, Strategy&, Roland Berger , Delta Partners , Alvarez

I got bumped back to platinum elite on both Marriott and SPG.. after being gold for a few months now (have been on a local project for a year now)
Strange.

Could any marriott employee share a friend and family form? I'll return the favor :)

When booking flight tickets to india (MAS, BLR, HYD) , do you book directly with airline or travel agents. Which travel agents have given you best deal both in terms of $ and fastest to reach?

What’s a “decent” flight price from NYC to Hawaii?

New to New York. Flying to Hawaii in August. No idea whether flights get any cheaper or not.

Merged my account this morning. Quite a sentimental moment to delete my SPG app. Bye bye you purple little guy

The new SPG app is not intuitive at all, very hard to navigate i find.

Hello -travelling to client site for the first time, few questions as a manager: 1. What’s my max per diem for meals? 2. I am travelling on Sunday - hoping I can charge meals on Sunday as well? 3. I decided to stay the weekend as I had to travel back again on Monday - can I charge the hotel during weekend? Since I will be avoiding the full flight cost which is huge?

Almost 4 weeks in and my status is still wrong. It was correct for the first ~1 day and then bumped down a level. Shouldn’t be hard as all my nights last year were SPG. This is ridiculous.

We need to come together. This in-fighting sucks and nobody wins. 😭

I am about to attempt self paced Math for the first time in 5th grade. I am raw with this one. I need to teach more discovery learning and exploration, rather than rote standard algorithm practice. Has anyone tried a self paced math class in grades 4-6? Tips? Tricks? Thoughts? Encouragement?

Tips for IBD Associate interviews for sector groups I have little experience in? I have B4 CF and M&A Strategy (CDD, etc) experience, so I can handle the technicals, but I am wondering what I should do to make up for lack of sector experience. Obviously it's not a dealbreaker since they're both interviewing me off cold apps, but I want to maximize my chances.

I am so sick and fed up with some of the older clients at my job. I know it's my responsibility to take care of them, but they're just so sexist sometimes.

Hi Fishes 🐠,

Hope you are doing great!

I wanted to reach out because I’m currently exploring new opportunities. I have 4 years of experience in project management and business operations. Please help sharing/referring if there is any PMO/Project Management you have.
Just to add, I am currently serving my notice period and will be available to join after 20th Jan'22.

So, this is a very personal kind of question, but I hope people relate and can provide an answer. I am CLOSE friends with a peer on my team and they an awful engineer and I'm always showing them up, simply by doing the right work. It's getting to a point where I'm getting bogged down by them, and I don't know if our manager will notice or if I need to do something to bring it up. What's the ideal solution for this? Maybe a stealth approach I haven't thought of? I don't want them to be fired...

Hey,

I feel so lucky after divorcing 3 years ago. My ex was a spender and didn’t believe he ever needed to save for retirement. At 34 he had saved $0. I had to fight to convince him that I would add money into my 401k. We divorced and I had 90k in my retirement accounts while in my early 30s. 3 years later it’s now at 202k. I finally feel like I’m on track and it wouldn’t have happened without leaving a relationship where our values were so different.

Hey! Could you put together a whole POV from scratch by 9am tomorrow? It’s fine if you want to drink. Thanks! 🤗

1) High interest rate > cost of mortgage increase > demand decrease > real estate price drop
2) High interest rate > inflation environment > investors invest real estate to fight inflation > demand increase > real estate price increase

1) Send a generic thank you message to the recruiter, for them to forward to each interviewer.
2) Send a slightly personalized thank you message to each interviewer.
