Are people finding 35k Marriott certs useful? Even with the ability to top up with 15k points, seems hard to find anything decent for 50k.

Is there a reason to get the luxury SPG amex if I got the new Chase Marriott card like a month ago?

Singapore hotel thoughts - JW seems nice and in a good location (Marina), St Regis seems slightly more luxurious perhaps but maybe not as good of a location and Westin has great views but is a Westin

Hi folks!

Currently interviewing with Mastercard data and services for the consultant role.
Wanted to enquire about the travel opportunities in this role, be it within India or outside. I personally enjoy travelling and have travelled quite a bit during my consultant stint previously. However, not sure of what the norm is within Mastercard.

Thanks!

In middle of nowhere tonight. I think I’m the only occupied hotel room here

How much annual hike PwC India gives to their employees on an average basis?

Anyone know what’s the salary of a Director PwC india ?

Shower thought:
Why did Toronto (or Canada?) change the exit signs from the classic red EXIT sign to the green running man? Wouldn’t it confuse more people especially elders in finding the exit?

Also isn’t it a waste of money for businesses to replace perfectly functional exit signs when renovating?

Quit my cushy job a few months ago because I was totally burnt out and mental health was shot. Thinking about quitting this industry all together - anyone else go through similar? Any advice? Thanks!

I have a question for established FAs with staff. How much vacation time do you give your longest tenured employee and how many years has the person worked with you?

I recently quit my job. My VP was a narcissist and never really looked out for my upward progression even though he said he was my sponsor. Whenever I would do a solid job, he would always down play it or give the mid-level mgr credit even though other people / management acknowledged it. But we still got along. When I gave my two week notice, I did not meet up or talk to him (I cancelled a good bye 1-on-1 b/c I was over it) - sent a short thank you email instead and ghosted. Was this justified?

All else equal, is it easier to become direct admit PP rather than promoted to that role from SM or MD? Seems less obstacles. Thoughts?

Joined EY 6months back as a tech consultant. My feedback so far has been great. What should I do to get the company sponsor my mba? I haven’t initiated the talk yet

How much time roughly do you dedicate for GMAT on weekdays, alongside ZS work?

How do you stay motivated day-to-day when the work gets boring? I'm a first-year associate who was assigned a long-term project with no deadlines. I'm struggling to bill 8 hours/day on this incredibly repetitive project.

How is IT audit at Baker Tilly? Looking to change from a big 4.

Does Centurion Lounge access justify the Amex Platinum fee? 80% of foreseeable travel will be through IAH, DFW, and LAS.

How does one use 500 Mile Upgrades on AA In the most effective manner?

Is there a reason to get the luxury SPG amex if I got the new Chase Marriott card like a month ago?

Roaches at Adolphus Dallas. They sprayed the place but I found one in the AM again. Ugh - just one more day.

JAL or Cathay for premium economy US to Asia (Both 777s)

My CSR is up for renewal in July, currently the fee is $550. I have ~140K points including the sign up bonus from joining last year. I don't have any other cards yet. How should I handle this? (contd)

Any Hyatt or Marriott recs in LA? Nothing expensive though pls

Amex gold or chase Sapphire preferred? I need a card for international travel to avoid foreign exchange fees. Please note, that I'll receive a $150 credit towards the Amex annual fee due to having a corp card. I'd you my capital one checking, but no rewards/benefits there.

My company is paying for one credit card. I'm leaning towards Amex Platinum given the large 100k sign up bonus at the moment (which I'll be able to hit). People lean towards CSR because of the 3x on dining but I don't eat out that much (and additional perks, but I prefer the Amex for that).

Should I grab the Amex Plat and not think twice?? Thanks!!

Platinum Elite here, do you all just ask if any upgrades are available or rely on the front desk agent to upgrade you? I feel like a d-bag asking.

Spent a weekend at a JW and I had no hot water the entire time. Complained 3x and no fix, how many points? They gave me a packet of tea at checkout but this wasn’t what I was thinking.

My CSR just renewed earlier this month. Last year my first $300 of travel expenses was deducted off my credit card (including Uber’s) but that does not appear to be happening even though I just renewed. What gives?

Please help? For those of you who have added authorized users to your credit cards, what’s the best way to track/summarize the spending? Looking to add my little sister but would like to be able to see her stuff separately from mine. From what I understand, this feature is not “easily/directly” available as a standard offering since everything is clubbed together in the statement. Thanks for your help 🙏

Any value in holding onto the CSR given the new 3% back on dining on CFU? Only benefits I see would be 3x on travel and 1.5x on redemption through UR portal

Has anyone used the annual elite gift to buy a mattress through Marriott? If I buy it on my Boundless card will I get 6x points?
