I'm about to be on a 4 month out of state loan staff engagement, do you recommend Hilton or Marriott hotels and why?

I like Marriott good service

like

Marriott over Hilton any day. Better hotels and rewards

like

SPG is better than either of these. Points are much more valuable than Marriott (who just bought them). The Marriott and spg rewards programs aren't merging for another year or so so I would do spg. They have a ton of hotels (sheraton, Westin, etc) and having been platinum in both spg and Marriott I can say spg has way better service. Marriott is too big of a company.

like

Marriott; especially if you have or intend getting the Marriott CC. Well worth the points!

like

Marriott gold is the shit you get perks and it's cheaper when you go to book for pleasure

like

I would also call either Marriott or Starwood and request to do the expedited status route (where you stay 10 times in a month and achieve gold/platinum). Whichever one offers you it, do it and then transfer status to the other.

like

You can merge your SPG points and Marriott points if you go to their websites- use combined points for either brand hotels

like

I’ve been 100% Marriott/SPG since starting, hit Platinum Premier in Marriott and Platinum in SPG this year. Marriott is my personal favorite

like

Earn points at SPG, convert to Marriott points when you want to use It for personal trips. SPG is great

like

Marriott

like

They already merged

like

They already merged but their rewards programs are remaining separate for the upcoming year according to an email they sent out about a week ago

like

Hilton offers point multipliers a lot, so easy to rack up points but exchanging points for rooms is incredibly inconsistent, especially in high dollar cities. The only time I felt like I was getting service was at the diamond level. Also, the Hilton CC has a zero annual fee, so can rack up more points that way if you decide to go that route.

I’m switching to Marriott this year. I’ll see how it compares

You get the 20x per dollar spent at Marriott:
10x per dollar except at Residence Inn, Townplace, and Fairfield
5x for platinum status
5x for Marriott CC
Redemption depends on category, which in turn depends on location of the hotel. For eg, Courtyard in Manhattan needs more points than JW in Vegas. When you convert to SPG points, 3 Marriott points = 1 SPG point. But redemption at SPG is much lower, which I personally find beneficial.

Thanks everyone! Unfortunately, I just found out I have no say and am being booked at a Candlewood extended stay hotel....at least they have a rewards program?

Too bad. Oh well, just join IHGs reward program and stay there from now on every time you travel

Found a random engagement ring.

Hi all, so I found a platinum ring (which I assumed it's an engagement ring as it has dates and initials engraved on top.) And a Divvy tag (I have no idea what it was until I googled it. Apparently it's a bike sharing service in Chicago) in a briefcase I ordered online. I was thinking of returning the item back to the store but that wouldn't help the person who lost the ring. Attached is a picture of them.

What should I do now?
