Does Ritz Carlton have rate codes?

Relative to Manhattan, is $435 a reasonable hotel rate for firm travel? There are some cheaper options (Fairfield Inn and such), but would anyone bat an eye at this rate? I don’t travel often. 🤷‍♀️

Is it safe to travel through Dakota? North Dakota specifically, I am brown if that will make a difference to answer. Planning a cross country trip from east to Cali. Please help so I can plan the itinerary

Weekend day trip or overnight ideas from Zurich? Would be in the next week or two. Train or short flight, preferably with a nice Marriott property. Thanks!

Hello peeps,

I am from Deloitte (Hyderabad) and I am planning a trip to Coorg, Ooty and munnar from 23rd December to 1st january(flexible).

If anyone is interested and wants to tag along then text me on instagram Id - sharahulkumar

To avoid disappointment on the trip, we can have a conversation prior so that we can check if we vibe together or not.

See ya.

Spouse made reservations for my birthday at n/Naka that will probably be cancelled due to the LA County news about extending stay-at-home 😭😷

Why is it so difficult to get an Uber in London? And the drivers will accept the ride and then cancel over and over again…

Hope no one is flying out of O'Hare, place is a shit show right now unless you have TSA PreCheck! Be early if you don't!

Anyone know of any freelance data gigs? Or places to find some?

Know a few folks from Marriott and IHG who got furloughed. :(

Going to Las Vegas in a couple months, what’s your favorite hotel to stay at and why?

Any awesome beach hotel/resort suggestions on East Coast preferably in N.C./S.C. where I can redeem Marriott bonvoy pts? Thinking of taking my family for a vacation b4 schools start

How is AirBnB ethical when its business model exists through legal arbitrage? It has functionally created rental property service without being subject to the same taxes and liability insurance of a regular hotel company due to the dubious claim of “It’s on the web.”

Landing in Auckland tomorrow morning and have 12 hours to enjoy (with a car). What should I do? Should I stay in Auckland, go to Goat Island to snorkel, go to Coromandel, or something else?

For good, or bad, looking for a weekend getaway after the election with my partner. 3-4 days. East coast. Where should we go? We live in GA.

Hi all, my boyfriend and I are taking our first vacation alone together to San Fransisco. Our main goal is to see Alcatraz but we’d love any other recommendations for things to do/places to eat/areas to avoid in the Bay Area. Additionally, if you have any tips on how to travel with your s/o those would be appreciated since I heard it can be difficult sometimes haha

Best hotels/places to stay in Hawaii ?

I am sure it's been asked before a few times but I didn't see straight forward answers after searching.

Trip to Kauai - Me and SO, we are fit, hikers, and will travel all over the island for hiking and snorkeling at remote locations.

Pick one hotel and please tell me why?
The Westin Princeville

Cons: Far from all other attractions
OR
Koloa Landing at Poipu, Luxury Collection
Pros: Centrally located
Cons: Touristy and not the best property

Best Marriott/SPG in Colorado ski areas? Are any ski on/off?

Any Female 🐠 from San Francisco Bay Area
Want to join me ( M 43) in Monterrey/ Carmel-by-sea for a weekend getaway!

Viewed a studio apartment today. Excellent location, renovated, great price, back of the building. But it was sandwiched between the stairwell and the garbage chute. Is this a deal breaker? It’s on a lower floor of a high rise so assuming lots of ppl would be dropping their stuff down the chute.

Don’t have much else to look forward to with life so pulling a Yolo and planning a 2 week kayak fishing marathon across the Texas coast. Why not right?

i will be in india this summer for a month and wanted to know how the phone/wifi works. i currently have AT&T so should i get a international plan from them or get a phone/plan when i get to india or get something prepaid here in US? also, i heard that you need aadhar card to get a phone so i dont know anyone in india who can get me one.

What is with people not knowing how to read signs? We have a huge one that says “NO CASH ALLOWED” and I still get asked almost everyday if we take cash

Is the iPhone 12 worth upgrading from the iPhone 11?

I am in a tech IC position. One of friends switched to FAANG by converting the profile to consultant profile. The friend who might have less tech knowledge than me is now in FAANG and earning more. If the end goal would be that the friend might one day be a product manager and me an engineering manager taking instructions from the same friend, isn't consultant profile an easier path to growth. I had been practising DSA for years and the competition is only ever growing.

Christmas gift idea for a 5/6 year old boy? I'm googling stuff and it all seems to be articles that are Ads. Really need some input here, as I only stare at excel sheets 24/7. 😂 TIA

Weighing up a top buy-side offer, but worried about perception on my overall tenure within roles.

May only be in this new ASC role for ~1y (personal circumstances). This would make 3 roles in ~3.5 years ( T2 consulting -> MBB -> buyside) out of undergrad. Long-term want to be entrepreneurial / do early-stage investing (Partner-track at a fund), have clear rationale for previous and future moves.

Is this an issue or am I overthinking? Thoughts?

Is it possible to be both lit and transactional?

Curious to know how much your student loans were when you graduated from your program, how much you’ve paid off so far, and your age. If you have any varying factors too, like kids, income range, etc. Just trying to see if I’m on track or slacking in life. I am 34 yo, i graduated with 95k in student loans, i currently have 85k left and i make 85k in come. I’m also a single mom with two kids. Just praying for 100% student loans forgiveness. Wishful thinking???

Does IBM provide reimbursement for WFH setup ? I heard there will be 45k balance per employee where we can claim broadband and other expenses through bond portal. Can anyone throw some light on this if you have any idea ?

I love when a client sends you all their bank and credit card statements expecting you to do their P&L. 😡

Hi Everyone, I have joined IBM 2 weeks back and project is not assigned to me yet. Now the thing is IBM has my previous company as client, Now HR asking me to work over there for atleast 6months. But am not at all interested to go over there and work.

Can we reject this project and ask IBM HR to show me some other projects. TILL NOW NO OTHER PROJECT IS SHOWN TO ME

Even my people manager also wants to work me there but I told him not interested. Will it effect me in any way at IBM.


Thank you

Hi Fishes,

I am thinking to diverting my career towards freelancing in accounting.
For that I have to resign from my current job in Pwc. I am thinking of starting a job as accountant and work as a freelancer as part-time.

Any thoughts or advice?

Makeup recommendations for foundation? Specially 12+ hour full coverage, semi-matte or natural finish. I have oily skin for reference. I’m getting married in August and want my skin to look flawless in photos. Wedding is in the mountains so weather should be 60-80F range.

Happy Father’s Day daddy

Best Marriott/SPG in Colorado ski areas? Are any ski on/off?

Have 150k ANA points, United blows and won’t honor upgrade through Star alliance so they are dead to me. Looking for anyone willing to exchange 1:1, ANA for Hawaiian or AAdvantage pts

Based in Chicago. Choosing between American or United. Have status with both but want to pick 1 and stick with it

I am 3 days stay from continuing the Platinum Status for next year in Marriott, what can I do?

Marriott Category 4. Original room had a broken AC and a live cockroach (killed it). New room also had a broken AC, maintenance came and fixed it — although it’s still not cooling too well.

How many points.

Can we just have a new channel for the repetition of “something small happened to me, can I get points”.
It’s generally pretty obvious if your being petty nuisance or genuinely put out so stop asking

Thoughts on American Airlines credit cards?

Is it worth getting SPG LUXURY when you already have the SPG Amex?

Here’s a joke, United Group 2. 😂

If you get the free gold card through your AMEX platinum card do you get all the same points earning that comes with the normal gold card?

Have corporate Amex (Green card). A) Can I upgrade to a corporate gold or platinum card? B) are the yearly expenses worth it?

Anyone looking for upgrades on United? Have some GPU's burning a hole in my pocket. :P

Just switched to a company that has United and Hilton as preference. As in they literally flag you when you don’t select them. I have Platinum status with Delta and Titanium with Marriott. I’ve signed up for status matches but any other tips for match challenges or earning with these vendors?

When booking Hertz, do you get points for both Hertz and airlines or just one?

Is there a way to get TSA Pre-check for non-green card holders who cannot apply for TSA Pre-check or Global Entry? Any other programs?

Goodbye Fairmont (being acquired by Accor). What are other luxury chains that are generous (if any)? Not sure how Four Seasons, Pan Pacific, Shangri-La, Ritz compare in terms of earning free nights.

I have 26k IHG points expiring 12/31 and no plans to stay at an IHG property in the near future.

What's the best way to cash them out? I was considering transferring to an airline but conversion is 5:1 and only in increments of 10k...

Need 75K Hyatt Points. DM if interested.
