If you have SPG/Marriott card you can get the 6x. You won’t get the same points as if you’d stayed. Need to stay to do that

It's private dinner. What do you mean spg discount? How do I get it without looking cheap :D

What kind of question is this! You sound like a Democrat. How do I get something for nothing? “I want to reap the benefit without the price of admission."

They are literally buying dinner at a Marriot property and asking if they can get points outside of a bill being charged to a room. It's a points optimization kind of question!

What kind of reading comprehension do you have? That's my kind of question. They are clearly paying for the meal, so they are not getting points for free....

Most have an SPG discount.

You get credit card points. Isn’t that enough? They are asking for ritz points but not staying - socialism at its finest. Maybe they should ask AOC about spending Amazon’s unused tax incentives as well.

Socialism (with respect to earning points for a paid purchase)

I know that's depends on the amount I have to travel (and potentially stay) but at the moment this is unknown. Past 8 months was just twice a month + 2 nights stay.

The only thing I know is it won't be every week, the return trian ticket is about £80-100, depends I could plan ahead.

Hi all,

I am an IT professional having almost 5 years of experience and want to move to Canada for PR. My CRS score is not upto the cut off. I need someone who can help in earning connections points for Manitoba PNP program.

As it allows having an acquaintance or a friend to earn those 20 points, it can help my PR application.

Anyone who is PR and resident of Manitoba can dm me to discuss around it. I am ready to pay for this assistance as well.
