For SPG members: how much do you tip when you do the green choice on stays?

Planning to fly to the Caribbean’s for about 12 days.. want to focus my stay in 2 cities and use Marriott points. I like the sound of curaçao for 1, what would you recommend for a 2nd and what hotel?

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

Hello travel buddies! I have recently started travel hacking and currently have the Chase Sapphire Preferred, Capital One Venture, Marriott Bonvoy Boundless, and Citi Premier Cards. Please comment if you would like a referral link for any of these!

FYI If your name doesn’t match exactly you can’t combine.

And when I called SPG they said the account maintenance wasn’t ready so to call back

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

It says on Bonvoy breakfast voucher that gratitude is included. Somehow they always expect additional cash tips?

Staying at a Hilton currently and have had tons of minor issues in the 3 days We’ve been here. Room wasn’t ready for 45min after check in time, AC did not work, maids did not clean room...continued

Almost 4 weeks in and my status is still wrong. It was correct for the first ~1 day and then bumped down a level. Shouldn’t be hard as all my nights last year were SPG. This is ridiculous.

Can someone confirm if Marriott does not give complimentary breakfast with a points booking? Booked with 25k points and was told no complimentary breakfast..

Merged my account this morning. Quite a sentimental moment to delete my SPG app. Bye bye you purple little guy

Have a big upcoming international trip and trying to choose between the Marriott convoy boundless credit card or the chase sapphire preferred card to not have foreign transaction fees. Anyone have any experience with either and can help tip the scales one way or another?

Heads up: Hilton is giving triple points during July if you use their credit card for booking. Good opportunity to make up to 54 points per $1. Time to stack up those points! Happy monday! :D

Best SPG property to stay in London?

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)

Hi, will be staying in London next week. Does anyone have an Accenture rate code for the Marriot / Hilton in London?

For folks who have applied for AP/EAD, how long did it take for you to receive it?

What’s your take on working along side a team in marketing but barely any of your team enjoy the social present, let alone having actual social accounts. I’m totally respect people who want to keep their personal life private, but not knowing what the hell is trending while holding a role that deal with social media contracts everyday and giving others opinions, that’s what I’ll have problem with. Thoughts?

Do you tell your boss you’re going through a breakup? I’m phoning it in and obviously going to be camera off for awhile.

How soon after a final interview with a DM is ok to call and follow up on a job potential?

Has anyone made the move from a modern vehicle to buying something older and less practical due to their decreased commute or need for a vehicle due to covid? If so, what’d you get and are you happy with the decision?

Car collision repair shop recommendations? No idea where to start. 🫠

Just taking the opportunity to get current. Sober 3 years and 10 months. This past couple weeks have been stressful and my mind slipped into fantasizing about my drug of choice. Last week I flipped out at some of my wife's family. I did an amends and I think time will heal this one. It's all up to HP. Although I have neglected my morning practice this week, I'm practicing self compassion with positive self talk.

Does anyone here have experience investing with Masterworks (platform for investing in fine art)?

Should I start Landry, ARob, or Anthony Miller this week in one of my WR spots?

For the GMAT Verbal, if you're a native speaker and proficient in grammar/writing. How do you improve your score? Simply practice? Or focus on re-learning formal grammar? i.e. Clauses, etc.

How many pieces of luggage do you own? If you own more than one of the same size, are you being practical or has it turned into an obsession? One brand or random?

What can I do outside the office to boost my resume and be a substantially more attractive candidate for top consulting firms in ~12 months time. Working in disputes and valuation role but want to go into management consulting next year (post MBA role). I feel like my job isn’t enough because skills aren’t considered as transferable outside this field.

Partners who throw their project team under the bus in front of the client <<<<<<<<<<<<

Utilization director told me today that the layoffs won't affect me. My heart goes out to everyone that had to hear otherwise. Here's to hoping y'all find something better and prosper.

Deloitte guys - Serious question.
How is Analytics & Cognitive doing at D? I have an offer and I am not sure if there will be layoffs again. I am on work visa so will be difficult.
Role will be for Google Cloud & Analytics. Current job doesn't suck much though.

Notice there are so many people with debate experience in consulting. Kinda impressed. Any highly recommended books related to debate or communication in general?

Does anyone travel with an XBox or PS4? How difficult is it?

I know most people are tired, exhausted, scared, confused, and hurting especially after this past week. We all can continue to deliver acts of empathy and kindness with intention.

The strength of our nation is determined by the force of our military and the bang for buck, but it’s also in how we treat one another. ✊🏻✊🏿🤟🏾

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.

Are MBB and Boutiques doing this massive hiring blitz with double referral bonus etc like the big 4 are? Or did they not fire all their people last fall?
