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.

Can someone walk me through the Do's and Don't's of AA miles? I think they're a joke.

I have 65k miles and I could only pay for a one-way ticket from PHX-JFK. I had to book 1 leg with miles and the 1 with cash, but booking the other leg in cash was about 80% of the round trip in cash.

My mom has 12k miles that expire soon, transferring them would cost me $450. I can pay for a round trip with that cash but I can only pay for a trip to my kitchen with those 12k miles.

What am I doing wrong? 😂

Hi all! I’m in the search of a remote HRBP role, looking for a company that is willing to pick me up as a new HRBP. I’ve been in the role 4 months, but this company is a disaster.

Prior to this job, I had another offer of HRBP but I didn’t like the interview. Been in the field 6+ years. Let me know if anyone has anything!
