Can someone explain how the Bonvoy annual gift choice works (especially for multiple reached levels)? Which ones of them is worth choosing?

Staying at the Ritz and STR in the Maldives so expecting good service and reading mixed things about tipping. I usually don’t tip much at hotels (never really thought about it) but what do people do? Is there an expectation and would the amount be based on like room rate or just a flat daily per day?

FYI - Just went on the Marriott website and selected the option to combine both spg and Marriott accounts. All stays and details updated. Past history to be updated in 48 hours. Get it done folks!!

Is anyone able to give me the Marriott Family or/and friends discount paper? 🤗

Planning early June honeymoon with ~350k Marriott Bonvoy points - we’re looking at either Europe or Asia as potential locations - any recommendations for hotels? I.e. W Maldives, Marriott Momi Fiji..

Is there a thread of company discount codes? ISO Hilton code (do not judge me my BIL is getting married at a Hilton and his fiancé is going to go postal if we don’t reserve a room now)

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)

Could any marriott employee share a friend and family form? I'll return the favor :)

Hi fellow fish need some advice.

I'm planning a wedding and wondering if I should apply for new credit cards to maximize on points. If so, wondering what your recommendations are and or if there are new cards out there I haven't heard of yet. For context I probably have another 20k+ in expenses to pay still and my current cards are:

CSP
Marriott Bonvoy Boundless
Citi double cash
Random card (used to be uber)

Merged my account this morning. Quite a sentimental moment to delete my SPG app. Bye bye you purple little guy

Definitely not a fan of Westin's "Eat Well" proposition. I'm working in the room at 2:00 AM and the most appetizing menu item is a cold turkey avocado and arugula wrap. I just want a burger and fries!
