For Marriott Bonvoy, is there a way to use your free night plus points? Trying to stay at a hotel that’s 50k points and the free stay is only for 25k

My guess is the old CC rewards certificate

Try to book it with points, it should allow you and then deduct the remaining amount from your points balance, I did that a couple of months ago with no issue

Nah that’s why I don’t feel like it’s that great of a perk. They’ve made their hotels more expensive (points-wise) while keeping the 25k value of the bonus night. That’ll basically save you the $100 cost of a courtyard

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.

I then get hit with a $180 ride. Marriott website says taxi should be $65. Should I complain or let it go?
