Guy at the Westin just said "Welcome Home Mr (x)". I think I have to kill myself now.

Best non-travel credit cards? I have Chase Marriott and SW but looking at best value cards during Covid. Esp Amexes. TIA!!!

Has anyone had Marriott gift you the next level of status if you’re only a few nights short of the requirement at end of year?

Hi fellow fish need some advice.

I'm planning a wedding and wondering if I should apply for new credit cards to maximize on points. If so, wondering what your recommendations are and or if there are new cards out there I haven't heard of yet. For context I probably have another 20k+ in expenses to pay still and my current cards are:

CSP
Marriott Bonvoy Boundless
Citi double cash
Random card (used to be uber)

Is anyone able to give me the Marriott Family or/and friends discount paper? 🤗

Worth getting the SPG card for 30k points ($3k spend in 3 months) or hold off until that goes up to 35-40k (will it?)

With Michael Thomas out, who would you replace him with in a PPR league today, TY Hilton or Emmanuel Sanders?

Like Sanders but worried about Brees after 4 weeks off.

Toronto for Thanksgiving. Best marriott/spg hotel? Things to do?

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

Any Hilton recs in Charleston?

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)

Can someone explain the Marriott status process to me? I am one year away from hitting life time status but doesn’t look like I am going to hit the 75 nights this year to keep titanium. (Cont. below)

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

SPG app updated for me but not combination

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

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!!

Hi everyone! Can anyone tell me what you make as a typical banquet/events manager for salary or per hour? I’ve worked for Marriott/Bonvoy at the Ritz and for the Curio Collection with Hilton as a bartender/server/banquets captain. Now I’m working for a privately owned hotel and as a manager role in Banquets/Events. Because of pandemic times, what is everyone else making?

What are some good Marriott properties to stay at in the Dallas area with points?

What’s the Marriott code?

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

Are spg and spg points eventually going to get phased out due to merger?

I have an H1b which I received in 2019 and was valid till august2021, due to covid I wasn't able to travel and then I switched to another firm last year in November. If I get visa transfer, will it provide me a validity back as I haven't used any on site time on that visa.

TIA

Sometimes I seriously think China is right to crack down and control the amount of time and types of entertainment access their citizens can have.

Pretty sure the person who was supposed to cure cancer is posting in this bowl about boobs and complaining about 40 hour work weeks. And the next Da Vinci is lurking just loling at comments. Western civilization is doomed.

I'm looking for someone to run Adroll for a startup with a $5k a month ad spend. How many hours a week will that take them and how much should I pay them?

So I finished my 3rd interview with a company and the TA specialist said they loved me but can’t meet me at my bottom line salary, however, I said I can negotiate and she said she’s going to speak with the decision makers and see if they’re okay with that. What does this mean? This is for a marketing specialist role. I’m asking for $70K bottom line

What’s the most entertaining (in a good or bad way) thing you’ve ever witnessed at a firm outing or holiday party?

So… 3.5 year relationship came crashing in Jan due to covid depression, work burn out, lockdown etc. We have stayed in contact and recently he has come around to apologizing and considering getting back together. However he also revealed he started seeing someone casually 4 weeks ago and technically is cheating on her by meeting me for coffee and to discuss this. I’m upset that he’s dating others but shouldn’t be right? I mean, I did the same. Still hurts though. And I told him to sort that out

I'm in Texas and its hot. Looking to get away for a few; does anyone have long weekend (3-4 day) trip recommendations? Ideally cooler climate & thinking more nature v. city.

Hot take. Is FAANG even a thing? Or was Cramer just worried about the acronym if he took out Netflix?

Best consulting firms without the massive ego?

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.

What are your book recommendations?

Flying back to NYC now. Hope y’all are safe and warm!

Wow I got off at 6:30 today, what should I do?

Any book recs on how to improve soft skills (ex. Communication, leadership, etc)? Doesn’t beat real life practice of course but would be a good starting point. Thanks!

Under trump tax plan: earn 120k, pay 33% taxes, net pay is 80k. Earn 112k, pay 25%, net pay is 84k. Approaching a salary bump, what would you do?

Probably a long shot but does anyone here happen to work in the front office (operations) of a pro sports team? I’m gonna assume that most ex-consultants that pivoted went into the business side.

My dad has been driving the same old CRV for the last 10 years. Has no interest in getting a new one. I want to buy him a new car, but he doesn’t seem interested in lux brands. Should I still do it?

Looking for recommendations on time management books or apps , tips in general. Have been feeling overwhelmed with all the tasks and projects lately.

Do federal consultants have the best work life balance? They get paid the same, but get to live local, cook dinner at home, and work 9-6? My federal friends are much happier than I am. Thoughts?

Hi everyone, I’m in a medium size consulting firm started working since Oct 2021. I’m wondering is it good to jump to industry for my next move or move up in the consulting world to polish my resume better with MBB or Big 4 in my resume… any thoughts? I really don’t know what to do in life so either one works for me, but I’m just lost.

Best business-oriented, but novel-style books with good writing, style, & interesting characters? Not really self-help/advise focused, more of actual literature with business themes/plots. Any recs?

I feel like these “incredible” exit opportunities consulting gives you is only applicable to MBB (i.e, companies only value MBB experience vs others). Any successful exits from Big 4 folk?

Any audio book recommendations to listen to when backpacking / vacationing?
