Hey all, I have a Marriott free night certificate that expires in November that I won’t be able to use. It is good for 35k point room, with up to 15k add on. Let me know if anyone is interested in buying it from me. I would book the room for you in exchange for Venmo. I did this last year and it worked well, I usually get breakfast with my status also so you would get that perk.

Help I am starting a travel project soon. What should I sign up for? What airline and hotel should I book?

Looking for advice on business trips. My boss kindly asked me if I want to go meet a client out of state along with business folks. It will be my first visit to a client. What do you think are the benefits of these trips? I’m fairly new in my career and in-house so would appreciate any thoughts. Thanks!

If you haven’t done so yet then you should check out Class Pass. Way better than going to some crappy globogym.

Vacation ideas for Thanksgiving? Six of us (ages 25 to 60) and everyone’s vaccinated. Thought about going to the Caribbean but I guess it’s the wet/hurricane season at that time.
