13-17k points/ week Should get to 20-26k points/ week with the double points promotion. 1. Get the 75% status bonus; 2. Sign up for promotions; 3. Be loyal to the brand (ie walk into their trap, haha).

Third point should always have a cross check with your common sense. How much of an additional effort does it take to stay at a Marriott hotel over the best available option. Is it really worth it?

Use the credit card for the points multiplier. Use my AmEx for everything else, but Marriott Card at Marriott only. I think it’s a 6x multiplier. And put all food/drink from hotel bar/restaurant into room. Increases the base and therefore the multiplier

10k per week

35,000 week. In a high cost area. Looking forward to the promotion. Will be making out like a bandit.

Eat hotel food instead of door dash or going out and charge it to room, which puts those $$$ to points. Sadly have to use corporate Amex. Use green choice. Platinum gives me +50%.

The big thing for me though is obviously high room rate. Silicon Valley is expensive

Wtf .. 35K points that's great, I'm here in the middle of nowhere making around 7K a week.

If you have a big team, negotiate a 2x points deal or something with the hotel that kicks in when you have eg 10 or more people staying on the corporate rate at the same time. Got a crazy number of extra points when we did that.

Sorry, can’t do the Green Choice, if I have to travel every week, I need a little perk out of it! I’m staying at a Marriott Delta regularly now, points are less, around 8,000 per week, compared to 11,000, but I like the Concierge Snack room. The other two options don’t have concierge rooms at all. It’s the little things!

SFO 20k

Good times traveling to SF
