How to progress towards Marriott Lifetime Silver fast?

Marriott Silver really isn't beneficial. I'd argue that the minimum level you would want is gold. Where are you currently at with regards to lifetime nights/points? Will make it easier to figure out what options are available to attain it.

I just made lifetime platinum. After 4 years in consulting and traveling. Get the Marriott Visa card!

You need @least lifetime gold - that gets you lounge access. Sliver is pointless. Credit card points count toward your lifetime points as well as the nights you get for minimum spend

All that being said, you have a long way to go as it appears your spend is really weak compared to the number of nights you've currently stayed.

Yeah, took me a little over 4 years for LTP. Roll over nights and credit card spend really expedited the process. Going to be harder moving forward as I believe they stopped the roll over nights after last year. Really curious how the combined SPG/Marriott program is going to shake out. Might not be worth chasing lifetime status, unless you're really close to gold or platinum, until the merger completes.

200 nights and .5 Mi pts

Wait till after the merger and be hit by a 10 year target for status? Sounds painful, tbh...

When he got to the front desk I asked “is everything alright? Are you okay?” (Assuming he may be senile),He wasn’t senile, he went swimming & wanted to make me uncomfortable and started to flirt while in his sopping wet see through tidy whiteys- and of course I had to clean up the water he tracked through the lobby.

Need career advice. Trying to break into a finance role, preferably an Analsyt role but I have no transferable experience. I worked as a mortgage loan officer (which is sales) for 2 years after college, but since mortgage is such a niche industry, no hard skills transfer and have no relevant undergrad internships unfortunately. I know I can essentially get any sales job I want in finance IE: financial advisor etc. but don’t want to be stuck in sales forever. Any advice?
