Is the Marriott bonvoy status worth anything? I am booking a new years trip and if I book at a Marriott it would get me to gold but there is a Hilton l I can book for $250 less.

Save your $250

Ambassador here. I love having status.

That said. I’d probably save the 250.

Marriott status is worthless

like

I mean I enjoy always checking out late and constantly getting upgraded…lifetime platinum though. Not sure about gold.

like

Alternatively - book the Hilton for NYE and also book a cheap (<$100) Marriott property sometime between now and December 31. Don’t have to stay at the property, just check in and let the staff know your intentions.

Status is only worth it if you plan significant travel to Marriott properties in the upcoming year. If not, skip the status chase.

But, Gold?!

Getting gold this year makes it easier to get platinum next year... always go for status

How?

Keep your 250. Platinum would definitely be worth it, but not gold.

Gold ain’t worth it.

like

Alternatively, book Hilton. Reach high status. Status match to marriot for when you want it. Profit

Gold doesn't do anything, Platinum is the minimum useful tier as it gives you lounge access and decent upgrades.

Agree

Platinum is when the benefit starts to be worth it. Gold is meh

Venting only! :)

How concerned are you about inflation? We have 70% savings rate and 50% of our expenses are housing / utilities of which the largest part is rent which is a fixed contract (no CPI escalation, no automatic increases, paying same rent for 4 years). No car as we are living in a large city. So if I look at the components of CPI and what’s rising I am feeling pretty „good“ about it. The one thing I am „worried“ is asset inflation but obviously that benefits me directly. What am I missing?
