There is a parallel program at SPG (and I think Marriott) where you can get bonus points as the organizer for all group spend (rooms, food, AV, etc.)

CSR all the way. You will still get the Marriott points.

like

No way on CSR. Since you're booking "at Marriott" IIRC doesn't matter if you use SPG or Marriott, it's 5 pts per dollar. Make sure you're signed up for megabonus if you haven't already and can.

like

SPG card all the way. Marriott card gets you 5 points per $. SPG gets you 2 points per $. If you convert your SPG point to Marriott points that turns into 6 Marriott points per $.

Unless you're going for Marriott lifetime status, just put it all on the CSR

Do you typically share your salary or salary expectations with recruiters on the first interview? I’ve had instances where the interviewer flat out tell me the range of salary band via email even prior to initial interview.
