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.

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

Luggage delay claim question

I used Chase explorer to buy tickets for my vacation and luggages were delayed for a month. Per chase term I am entitled $100 a day for 3 days. But the claim agency chase used has been asking for airlines response, which has not came (2month+ now). I am concerned insurance will use this as an excuse to never compensate. Is there a good way to handle this situation?
TIA

Hi everyone! Does anyone in here work for Omada Health ? I have an interview next Wednesday for a PT Member Support Agent role and am unclear on what the pay could be. Glassdoor has the pay estimate at 42k-48k, but I found a comment where someone in the same role mentioned only getting paid $12/hr. I have 8 years of experience as a CSR but I’ve had a couple year gap in between now and my last job. TIA Any advice helps .
