Is it still worth going with SPG while knowing about the merger? Or should I just got Marriott from now?

like

Helps if you tell us more info about hotels around you and airlines you can take

like

Have access to Marriott, SPG, Hilton and Hyatt. And for flights, United and southwest.

like

SOUTHWEST COMPANION PASS

like

I picked airline loyalty based on who has the most flights from my home city to my clients or parents city. This way, I rarely have to explain why I took the 4:30 on United versus the cheaper 4:35 on American AND makes it easier to switch flights when needed.

like

I don't have delta for my route. Either United or southwest. And tbh the SPG options where in going were absolute shit. I went with Marriott.

like

Doubt merger will impact loyalty programs til 2018. Even then, points/statuses won't go away. Might adjust point value some. Check to see if your firm has any special promos. We had platinum fast-track at SPG and Delta

I love united loyalty program, but haven't really tried southwest. I'd say do SPG platinum challenge, get to platinum in a month, and enjoy the points. They aren't devalued yet.

def go united over swa.

Delta/SPG. Crossover rewards. SPG platinum challenge. Delta Accenture platinum challenge. Done and done.

They offered me 2 weeks of severance pay and I negotiated it to 3.

My firm has a collections budget (80% of your billable rate x 1850 hours) and an hourly budget that must be met in order to be eligible for a bonus. The firm cares very little about originations and will reward someone for making their collections over someone who brings in new work. I missed my collection budget due to some odd timing with a client, but originated more than all my peers so no bonus for me. I’ve been at this same mid level firm for 9 years and it’s all I know. Is this normal??
