Best SPG in Boston?

First post? Ok I will start. My SPG nights for 2018 dropped from 101 to 91 after the merger.

American has a promo listed on their app - use Rocketmiles to book a hotel and earn X000 American points. Has anyone here used it? If I book a Marriott properly, can I apply my Marriott retroactively?

Found a bed bug in a Radisson Red in Campinas Brazil, how many points?

Wife and I want to do a quick trip to Orlando with our 3 year old. Just want to do magic kingdom for a day as i think that’s all we can handle. Recommendation a on Disney hotel vs say a Marriott? The price difference is huge and I know I can get a suite for free with my status at the Marriott.

Having to call Marriott to apply a suite night award to an SPG hotel on a reservation you made before the merger and combining accounts proves to you how much is still SO WRONG with this merger.

Anyone applying for Chase Marriott Bonvoy Boundless card lately? I saw that they are offering 100k points again, but NO more 15 elite nights?

Anyone stay at the Ritz-Carleton in D.C.? I’ve never stayed at a Ritz location so I’m curious to hear what to expect. Will be in D.C. for a conference so my firm is covering the trip.

Any recommendations on St Regis vs Ritz Carlton Istanbul?

SPG app updated for me but not combination

Hi, will be staying in London next week. Does anyone have an Accenture rate code for the Marriot / Hilton in London?

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 :)

Friendly tip: Don't burn bridges even with those who are leaving - our industry is small (even in Manhattan) and you will almost certainly see that person again if you stay in pharma

Hi all! Can I open a bank account in India when I’m physically not in India?

I made a couple errors at a new job. An important document to be distributed had wrong information on it, which was proofread by 2 other people. Then a couple of typos in emails, the person micromanaging me told me to send out but I didn’t fix the errors. Failed to meet a deadline but completed 95%. I was written up over all this last week, fired this week. There’s a lot more to this but I think it’s because the DM doesn’t like me.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?

Are you buying into this market or starting to pile cash?

I do believe EY is d kindest when it comes to putting people first.Thank U Kelly.Resume travel based on CDC & facts, no layoffs in foreseeable future, extending trust when wfh& personal accountability

So I’m only contributing to 401k enough to get employer match, and I’m saving an additional ~20% and putting 90% of that into my vanguard mutual funds. Reasoning is that I don’t want to lock away all that money maxing out 401k. Have 3 months expenses liquid in a savings account. Is this really dumb? Essentially trading tax for the option of actually using my money.
