Why do people always ask this question? Just go to the front desk, fucking throw down how many points you want and they'll usually give it to you. They honestly don't care.

Geez I was at a Westin and they told me the wrong room # and I got 5k

They offered 1k :/

If it was your mess (not a new room), then minimal points. If it hasn't been cleaned and you're just checking in, at least the redemption rate for the hotel seems fair.

And I didn't even go in, I just went back downstairs when it was locked

None. Ask for a new room.

Happened to me a few months ago at a Marriott. Checked into a room that I'm pretty sure still had people in it. They gave me a $10 drink voucher which I forgot to use. Called a week later asked to speak to manager, explained what happened and that $10 drink voucher that was unused was not gonna cut it. Got 10k pts. I ain't mad

Would love to get your input on this but how do you guys feel about consulting, especially with a STEM background? I have worked on studies where we make recommendations that anybody with a basic scientific/engineering knowledge will say “yea, no f-ing sh*t. We want to do that too. But it’s impossible to achieve from technical perspective with the money we have. You don’t think we already thought of that?”

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
