Hold on guys..this $450 card looks really attractive but before jumping in to apply, check the new Marriott point valuation per dollar.

OP, as of right now the 6x Marriott points is equivalent to 2x SPG points

I’ve heard new luxury card will be a lot like the current Marriott Ritz card. 6x points on SPG and a $450 membership fee

But how does 6x new SPG compare to current 2x SPG?

Amazing. Where did you find that?

Any idea if the $450 will come with some credit (airline incidental, annual free night at hotel, travel credit, etc)?

P1 is it not the same? Do you have new info?

So... Wait for the new card?

Is it being devalued after the merger?

Alright auto fishes, I’m in the market for a entry level luxury car. Open to used or a lease. I don’t plan to use it as a daily driver, live in an HCOL. Only restriction is that I’d like to keep my monthly costs at no more than $600-$700/month (including insurance, financing / fees, etc; have a parking spot already). Doesn’t have to be a European badge. Thoughts?

I prefer working for what is offered on contract without negotiating, and then negotiate when I transition into the company itself so I have a better chance of getting the contract position and show my skills.

Got a temp offer for less than a year without promise of turning into full-time. Wanted to know what ppl think about temp jobs (looks bad on resume if I don't turn full-time later within the company?) and what comp should look like (e.g. 1.2× of regular comp?).
