For Marriott 50 nights benefit: Should I pick 1) add 5 elite night credits to my 2020 total or 2) get five suite night awards? Currently titanium elite have 76 nights, 5 suite night awards expiring Dec 2021, and 1 free night expiring Jan 2021. Likely no travel/hotel stay for the rest of this year.

Five elite nights credits would be worthless unless you plan to stay 19 more nights after 81 and spend $20k, at which point you would get an ambassador. Ambassadors are pretty worthless as well so the suite nights are still a better option.

I accidentally did 5 elite night credits and 5 suite night credits

Wasn’t paying attention and wanted 10 suite nights

I did the five elite night credits. Brings me to 71 nights this year. Another 4 and I get lifetime platinum.

That’s the kicker!

Took a lot from me mentally to leave consulting because I had a great support system there but I didn’t want to travel anymore because of a growing family. I joined a series-C startup and it’s been a dumpster fire of politics and incompetence and I totally regret joining.

With a new kid on the way, the uncertainty is killing me. Any advice?

Hi Austin!👋

I will be relocating closer to the city in October and am looking for my next amazing opportunity at a blooming startup. Ideally seeking a high velocity, customer oriented role that requires travel, as I am an expert in “boots on the ground” communication, training, sales, and implementation efforts.

Both of my previous startups have gone public or been acquired with myself on staff, so I can truly help take you towards where you want to go! Feel free to drop any leads below.
