I chose the offer for $200 in Amex for attending their presentation( it was a one on one setup). My parents bought a timeshare over two decades ago so I went in their place 2 years ago. Honestly, being in consulting gives you a lot of knowledge on points and you can clearly see how their new timeshare offers are complete crap compared to earning points through our normal travels. But it was fun to ask them questions where they had to admit how they downgraded the previous offer my parents had.

my experience has been that they won’t stop calling me 🙃

How many points? Caribbean Marriott Cat 3 property, 5 nights. They have an issue with the boiler so no hot water and shower stops in between. Ice cold showers for 4 days in a row 🥶. Hotel phones don’t work because network is down and only local channels work on tv. Last night they had a huge leak in the lobby. They kept knocking stuff all night to fix it and then left a large floor fan running. I understand it’s tough reopening so don’t want to push, plus they upgraded our room at check in.

So, my question is, should I use my old 401K amount to just pay off my debt, taking the 10% hit in penalties, or should I roll it over to my new employers 401K?
