I have 315k Marriott Bonvoy points and a couple of free nights in addition. What is the best bang for my buck in terms of locations / experiences I could get? I am super flexible on timing and location, just want the best experience. Any thoughts?

Just spent 2 ish weeks in New Mexico / Utah / CO nationals parks where the hotels are around 200/300 $ plus.. honestly some were around 400. I got night stays for 12,500- 20,000.. which in my calculation was a great value. I’ve gotten some good value in Portland , Maine as well. The only bad values I see rn are in big cities since hotels are rather cheap aka Seattle , Denver , Atlanta , LA and so on.

Depending on what your looking for - I did a solo trip down to the W South Beach in Miami and had an absolute blast last month. Super expensive rooms so not a bad redemption overall.

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers. It was base + comm, now it’s commission only but nothing changed, OT commission is the same, didn’t get more points, just took away the base pay and said work harder basically. So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)

Hello, I wanted to mention that I work as a sports commentator, specifically about soccer. I used to be one of the main journalists for Spanish media, but since I moved to Miami I feel the general passion for soccer is very different 🥲 The energy and commitment are not even close to what I felt in Spain, where some businesses would close if the match was too important. I hope this nostalgia goes away soon.
