For long term hotel loyalty: Marriott or Hilton? (Or someone else?)

Hyatt. As a Titanium and lifetime Platinum elite at Marriott, the benefits of loyalty have really gone down hill. You have to harass hotels to get benefits like upgrades and free breakfast, and the attitude towards elites is indifferent at many Marriott properties. From what I’ve heard, Hilton isn’t much better. Hyatt gives milestone-based perks that are actually worth something (bonus points, free nights, and suite upgrades that are confirmable at the time of booking).

Marriott has really cutback on their awards program. I would probably explore Hyatt right now.

Marriott is also getting worse for 2023 with impending fully dynamic pricing.

My boss fired me because i ask for clarification on my employment right.

I got hired not long ago. I realise some of the employee benefits i was told (missing in the contract) contradict with what’s stated on the law. So i email the boss about it and ask for clarification. Immediately after the email i was fired.

Just want to make sure people know this and don’t apply jobs in this shady company- it is called UniQ Biotech, in Delta, BC, Canada

My partner will be traveling often to London, once a month for an year starting September. He is getting his visa through work (10 years, multiple entry, 6 months max stay, cost some $1000).

I have applied for standard tourist visa in the past and they are usually short term. It could be max 6 months, but they see your itinerary and allocate you few months around the itinerary

Is there a way to get 6 months multiple entry visa, if I were to join him once in a while.
