I want to book a Bonvoy Marriott stay for my parents using my points. I have done that in the past and just reached out to the hotel to have them add my dad’s name to the reservation and it worked no problem (they even enjoyed my benefits such as free breakfast). I just booked a 7 night stay but in the reservation details it says (continued…)

Just book it under your name and add you dads name as your extra guest and message the hotel saying they will check in before you do. Works like a charm, done it plenty of times

It always said that

You are using it and you want keep your name on the reservation. You are just adding an additional name.

I wouldn’t worry, I’ve done this dozens of times without issue. Use the chat feature on the app to add their name, say they will be checking in first and screenshot it for your records.

Cool, got name added, fingers crossed 🤞

… “Hotel rewards e-certificates can only be requested by a Marriott Rewards member for a reservation in that member's own name. E-certificates will not be honored if the names on the reservation and the e-certificate do not match. For information about redeeming points as a "gift" in another's name, please contact Marriott Rewards Customer Service.”

Has anyone booked a stay recently for someone else? What is MR Cust Service going to ask?

Morning all. I am looking for a favour/solid advice. I've been in the interview process for a dream role over the past month or so and just found out I didn't get the job after final round 🙃.

Unfortunately this isn't the first time this has happened during the past year searching. Looking for a SC level role within healthcare/public sector consulting firm. I know the job scene is a bit miserable currently but if anyone in the bowl is aware of a role I would love to have a chat.

Thanks all

I have an offer and want to negotiate

1. London base salary but I have to absorb all the expenses (train + stay)
I am thinking to negotiate to

2. home base salary and have my expenses paid for

I know that's depends on the amount I have to travel (and potentially stay) but at the moment this is unknown. Past 8 months was just twice a month + 2 nights stay.

The only thing I know is it won't be every week, the return trian ticket is about £80-100, depends I could plan ahead.
