Hi y’all! I’m trying to buy 100k Marriott points, currently Marriott has a 50% bonus for buying points which would cost me around $800 for 100k. Would anybody in here willing to sell their 100k points for cheaper? It is a low offer but I know some of you have lots of points but do not use them, so can someone help a new mom out who’s going crazy and in need of a vacation?

Do the math, even with their offers, its still usually cheaper to book the hotel direct and pay cash for the room, and accrue more points. I laugh everytime I see a hotel or airline mention I can get 50% bonus points if I buy, cause it still usually a major rip off.

Reason to leave - want more technical exp before moving to Big tech and better comp. although PwC increased salary this year, it’s not in the same ball park at this point. Don’t see myself staying to make partner/MD at either firm. Welcome all suggestions on what I should do.

Curious about thoughts on on discount points (I think I’ve already read every article on Google). I am refinancing my personal residence (future rental) as well as a rental property. The mortgage brokers discourage me from spending a ton on points (rolled in, not up front). In some cases, it’s a 16 year break even. I get that’s a very long time to break even, but I have no intention of getting rid of the properties and doubt rates will drop much below current. Max breakeven point for you?

Pretty disappointed now as my request for a counter offer revision in IBM has been rejected by the business team. I have an offer of 14.41 in a Big4(Fixed: 11,variable 3:41) & IBM is offering me Fixed 12.5(including retirals-13.31).

Sad part is they are considering only fixed part for revision & r saying that we r offering you more than ur fixed. They r saying u will get variable on top of this. In reality, IBM hardly gives any variable.
Guys, is there still a way to revise the offer?
