For those who became platinum premier elite + ambassador with the merge, have you received your ambassador already? How long does it take?

Hi fishes!

I have an offer from Accenture for solution architect role in GCP. HSBC is happy to match the offer.
Accenture vs HSBC. Any thoughts?

What's everyone into now? I cashed out some of my CCIV but not sure where to move to next. I feel like IPOF should have some news soon...

I'm a masochist. PRQ tied up a ton of my assets during the last run up in early 2021 while crabbing and dumped just as bad as other alts in May. I just heard whispers of a big cex listing and put some money back into it. 😬

Off topic

Is there any low interest or interest free loan policy available in thoughtworks?

Current employees, please comment...

Would you recommend Sedona during Christmas or San Diego during Christmas with a 1.5 year old? Entertainment, safety, meaningful experience-focused.

Sedona will be much colder, possibly snowing/icy and will be hiking, hot tub, enjoying the scenery focused. San Diego will be beach, enjoying scenery focused. Both Airbnb options look beautiful. Will also have 60 year old grandparents joining

The new X7 looks like a faakin’ Kia….

What types of questions do you like to ask candidates during your first initial conversation with them?

What’s the most I can spend on mattress?

I think everyone will agree with this that in last 1-2 years we have seen a tremendous change in Indian IT industry and tremendous growth in Salaries and negotiations. Can someone explain me the factors that are triggering it even when the world markets are in huge correction phase and we are also seeing layoffs and revoked offers.

Favorite news channel?

Joining D soon as manager. Can we use Interactivebroker for stock trading?

Can you still earn status under the old world requirements if you have not combined? Trying to see if I can score an extra year of plat before I combine but idk if stays will count now, merged or not.

How do I request suite upgrades on the new app? I have 10 that will expire this year and can’t seem to find a way to apply them on a reservation. Thanks for the help!

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

my nights finally all came in! Activity history is now messed up again though 🤔

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

I am currently showing 800 days and 9 years elite. Anyone know if this year is included in that if I have 50 nights? Right on the border for lifetime platinum premier elite and I want it!!!

Who’s still missing nights? 🙋🏻‍♂️

FYI - Just went on the Marriott website and selected the option to combine both spg and Marriott accounts. All stays and details updated. Past history to be updated in 48 hours. Get it done folks!!

I was platinum lifetime marriott... on the spg app, i now show gold lifetime. That should show Platinum lifetime right?

If anyone sees their missing nights appear, please post here so the rest of us know to start checking for them to appear. TIA.

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

So spent the last 30 hours working through this trying to books with points. Still nada. Anybody else have luck?

Will status for current year still be valid till February of next year in the new combined program?

Do y'all think they've just given up at this point. Chalk it up to a loss?

It is WILD that we had a whole separate bowl for this.

Anyone else not getting points / nights for recent Marriott stays? Account activity isn’t working in the app

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.

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

I am about 100 nights away from reaching the lifetime grandfathered premier access, not sure if I can make it by year end. No longer on travel projects. Any tips? Any new updates from Marriott?
