Green choice + welcome point devaluation is worth $1200 a year alone (assuming 40 weeks of travel and 3¢/point SPG vs 1¢/point Marriott)

What specifically are you unhappy about?

Well, for one I had bad experience due to flight cancellation and unwilling to wave cancellation fee (mind the weird flex but stayed 140 nights in hotel for 2018 and spent 25,000 on hotels) so tell me why I gotta fork over 140 or even ask 2x to get it waved. Also, I’m so fucking sick of having to reach out to bonvoy about missing points, stays.

Lastly, the point devaluation from check in gifts, to recategorizing hotels, to increasing points per stay.

I was able to match platinum premier status last fall to Hilton Diamond for 18 months using a match I found online.
I was highly impressed by Hilton properties near my client and the seamlessness of the experience (no tech issues, following up for points, etc). If they have bonuses going on the points earned per week are equal to marriott’s new program. The experience you receive is so property specific it’s not a bad thing to have two chain options.

I now aim to maintain diamond in Hilton and titanium on Marriott to have the flexibility to stay at either

I think it was double points on all stays. It ended in January I believe

Misled on Maternity Leave Policy. I found out I only get 4 weeks pay for maternity leave (STD +“sick days”). I will take 12 weeks but wont get paid for 8 weeks. I work for a US, west coast based company in the tech/VC industry. Their website claims to offer “paid parental leave and other progressive benefits for parents”. I didn’t find out until after I was hired their pay was only 8 weeks but since I have been at the company less than 12 months, I don’t qualify for their policy. Is this unfair?
