Hyatt > Marriott > Hilton typically in terms of award redemption. But YMMV based on hotel choice and location of travel.

It was Marriott all night long, but the new peak/off peak points redemptions look a bit dodgy

Been wondering the same thing for a while. Why does nobody like Hilton? It seems like 90% of Hyatt hotels are sooo suburban / cookie-cutter looking.

(1/2) I started a new job less than a month ago at a large firm with a significant pay increase. I work remotely- which is a special arrangement.

A bunch of the attorneys dropped not so subtle hints that people who work from home are causing all kinds of problems. I don’t know what to do.
