I was actually told by someone at the front desk not to check in early because it would prevent me from getting an upgrade.

Nope. None

Best rooms are usually occupied so they have to be cleaned which takes time. After 3 you get better rooms. My friend who runs hotels told me that one.

That's what I figured. Wish they'd stop tellin me to checkin

Hilton lets you choose your room on a map if you check-in early. Hopefully Marriott steps its game up.

Agreed I tried for a few weeks and not doing it again. I got used to having a living room to set a different thermostat then

So they lock you in to make you pay?

As far as I can tell, earlier check in gives you a better chance at a shittier room

Yeah definitely noticed early check in gives crappier rooms

Curious about thoughts on on discount points (I think I’ve already read every article on Google). I am refinancing my personal residence (future rental) as well as a rental property. The mortgage brokers discourage me from spending a ton on points (rolled in, not up front). In some cases, it’s a 16 year break even. I get that’s a very long time to break even, but I have no intention of getting rid of the properties and doubt rates will drop much below current. Max breakeven point for you?

KPMG I’m confused on your referral process. Had a friend refer me before I made an account, made an account, applied to two jobs and got rejected (that’s fine). But if I want to apply to a third job, will it still be under her referral or do I need a new referral? (She said she can’t refer me again for 12 months) I’m not even sure if I applied correctly under her referral. The first two jobs I applied for were through talent community as I normally would without a referral. Help, I’m so lost :(
