First post? Ok I will start. My SPG nights for 2018 dropped from 101 to 91 after the merger.

Found a bed bug in a Radisson Red in Campinas Brazil, how many points?

Looking into credit card, most likely between emirates nbd Bonvoy card or the Emirates offering. Anything better out there? What has been your experience. My understanding is you can convert the emirates points to Bonvoy? Not sure if the same works Bonvoy —> emirates.

Looking to book one night at a Marriott property in chicago to celebrate anniversary with my wife - mostly deciding between the Gwen and the Ritz. Which would you choose? (Assume price doesn’t matter)

Staying downtown Columbus Hilton for my wife’s job conference and we have to use valet parking since I need to use my car to go to work every day. $40 a day, how much do I tip and is it when I drop my car off and when they bring it to me in the morning?

Paris hotels… which would you prefer?
a) Four Seasons
b) Hôtel Plaza Athénée
c) Mandarin Oriental
d) Shangri-La Paris
e) Ritz Paris

Help! I told my SO I’d let them know before I go to bed tonight. And I have totally procrastinated.

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

Planning on opening a Bonvoy boundless chase cc for the 75,000 points and have heard the first year is free. Is that right? If it is, do I still get the 75k? Are the 75k Chase points or Bonvoy points?

Having to call Marriott to apply a suite night award to an SPG hotel on a reservation you made before the merger and combining accounts proves to you how much is still SO WRONG with this merger.

Will SPG Green Choice award of 500 points also triple to 1,500/night under the consolidated reward system? Couldn’t find anything in the Marriott marketing materials

Marriott or SPG credit card (for the sign on bonus)?

What are some good Marriott properties to stay at in the Dallas area with points?

Friend asked to buy my SPG/marriott points. How would that work hypothetically? $0.027/SPG , $0.009/Marriott? (According to Points guy) & transfer to their account?

My RB situation is ugly. Recommendations on who I should start?

Need 2; 0.5 ppr

-James Conner @ CIN (I also have Snell in the event Conner is ruled out)
-Jeff Wilson @ DAL
-David Johnson @ IND
-Chase Edmonds vs PHI
-Lynn Bowden vs NE

I can also add Salvon Ahmed (vs NE), Sony Michel (@ MIA), Gus Edwards (vs JAX), Tony Pollard (vs SF), Latavius Murray (vs KC), James White (@ MIA), DeAndre Washington (vs NE), or Giovani Bernard (vs PIT).

My WR/flex is Ridley, Woods, Hilton, Amari Cooper

Best credit card for travel?!? And, why? Never really used airport lounges.

I have the Marriott Bonvoy, SW rewards and CSP.

I am about 100 nights away from reaching the lifetime grandfathered premier access, not sure if I can make it by year end. No longer on travel projects. Any tips? Any new updates from Marriott?

With Michael Thomas out, who would you replace him with in a PPR league today, TY Hilton or Emmanuel Sanders?

Like Sanders but worried about Brees after 4 weeks off.

Justifying the Sheraton's painful bed to yourself because the Four Seasons don't recognize your loyalty

A first for me, after 1.6 million miles. Thankful for a delay. The delay on the connector saved me a night at ord Hilton after the ludicrous delay on the first leg.t. Truly grateful united

Best Marriott to Stay in Charleston for 3 nights? Platinum elite. Also looking for any and all recommendations for 4 days in Charleston. Birthday celebration for SO.

What is a good interview answer for leaving a job after a few months when the real reason is that you’re sleeping with one eye open in hopes of not being on the chopping block after two rounds of massive layoffs? Company culture is at an all-time low, and it will only go down from here from what I’ve seen in the short months I’ve been there.

In need of new training kicks! Brookes or On Clouds?

What industry companies ( health plan or providers) pay well and has a good wlb?

Is there such place as non toxic ID firm? Or does any of ID attys like what they do? I moved from general practice to an ID firm six months ago. Biggest mistake of my life. I am trying hard not to just quit and walk away as I’m battling head cold but still have to bill bill bill and get criticized for not billing right and etc and cases being piled up - while everyone is looking forward to the long weekend. I seriously question my judgement. Need word of wisdom just to get through this hellhole

SPG app updated for me but not combination

The new SPG app is not intuitive at all, very hard to navigate i find.

Can you still earn status under the old world requirements if you have not combined? Trying to see if I can score an extra year of plat before I combine but idk if stays will count now, merged or not.

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

my nights finally all came in! Activity history is now messed up again though 🤔

For those who became platinum premier elite + ambassador with the merge, have you received your ambassador already? How long does it take?

How do I request suite upgrades on the new app? I have 10 that will expire this year and can’t seem to find a way to apply them on a reservation. Thanks for the help!

Having to call Marriott to apply a suite night award to an SPG hotel on a reservation you made before the merger and combining accounts proves to you how much is still SO WRONG with this merger.

Do y'all think they've just given up at this point. Chalk it up to a loss?

I am about 100 nights away from reaching the lifetime grandfathered premier access, not sure if I can make it by year end. No longer on travel projects. Any tips? Any new updates from Marriott?

Why platinum and no longer platinum elite?

I thought my nights and points would merge. How do I make that happen?

If anyone sees their missing nights appear, please post here so the rest of us know to start checking for them to appear. TIA.

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!!

Looks like I lost 12 nights and points / nights are not combined with Marriott yet

Anyone still missing nights/stays?

Do Starwood reservations eventually come over onto Marriott after you combine? Mine still haven’t...

It is WILD that we had a whole separate bowl for this.

Will status for current year still be valid till February of next year in the new combined program?
