I stay at the Renaissance every week and debating whether I should apply for SPG card or Marriott Card (already have CSR) to use, which card is more valuable points wise given my hotel selection?

Spg

Go to points guy

SPG - you get 2 per dollar which can be exchanged for 6 Marriott points. The Marriott card gives you 5 points per dollar. There are differences in the other benefits tho. The Marriott card gives you 15 nights toward elite status every year and everything $3k spend on the card gives you another qualifying night towards status. I believe you get a category 1-4 night certificate each year as well. The SPG card gives you lounge access at the Sheraton.

I think the signup bonus right now is similar, but the 80k Marriott nets you 5k more Marriott points than the 25k SPG point signup.

Thank you so much EY2!! I’m currently a gold marriot member, and my goal is to accumulate as much points to put towards my honeymoon.

So status isn’t a concern for me, just points, so I think SPG is the winner 🤔

My wife and I are moving to Boston from overseas (we’re from Italy and we’ve recently won the diversity visa green card lottery).

Do you recommend we go for a serviced/luxury apartment (e.g. Montaje, 345 Harrison, etc.) or hire a broker to get a “normal” apartment?

Any managed buildings recommendations within our budget? Also, what are some good brokers we could work with?

Thanks!

Transactional associate. Lateraled 6 months ago and one of the biggest pain points has been my new firm’s inclination to “hop on a call”, which of course requires every single stakeholder to join. The end result being every call has 25 people on it and nothing actually gets done because no one wants to ask a question that could come off as silly. It’s destroying my ability to get anything done during the day. It’s a complete performance and it drives me nuts.
