Is there no SPG summer promo?!?

Staying at the Ritz and STR in the Maldives so expecting good service and reading mixed things about tipping. I usually don’t tip much at hotels (never really thought about it) but what do people do? Is there an expectation and would the amount be based on like room rate or just a flat daily per day?

Will end up at 65 Marriott nights for 2018. What would you select for your annual choice benefit? 5 elite night credits or is that pointless?

Best Marriott/SPG property for a couple’s stay in Amsterdam? End of December - want to be reasonably close to city center but not break the points bank (<~50k a night ideally )

Any Florida hotels (Hyatt/Marriott) near the beach that people recommend? Looking to avoid Miami.

Almost 4 weeks in and my status is still wrong. It was correct for the first ~1 day and then bumped down a level. Shouldn’t be hard as all my nights last year were SPG. This is ridiculous.

Hello travel buddies! I have recently started travel hacking and currently have the Chase Sapphire Preferred, Capital One Venture, Marriott Bonvoy Boundless, and Citi Premier Cards. Please comment if you would like a referral link for any of these!

I'm about to start my first travel case. SPG or Accor?

What’s a good Marriott Bonvoy points vs $ conversion to make decisions on using points or $?
I’m contemplating 40k points vs $168 including taxes at a category 4 location

Best SPG property to stay in London?

I got bumped back to platinum elite on both Marriott and SPG.. after being gold for a few months now (have been on a local project for a year now)
Strange.

Any suggestions on SPG/Marriott hotels in Barcelona for personal travel?

FYI - Just went on the Marriott website and selected the option to combine both spg and Marriott accounts. All stays and details updated. Past history to be updated in 48 hours. Get it done folks!!

Merged my account this morning. Quite a sentimental moment to delete my SPG app. Bye bye you purple little guy

FYI If your name doesn’t match exactly you can’t combine.

And when I called SPG they said the account maintenance wasn’t ready so to call back

Thinking of exiting into Banking / Payments space from USI S&O. Anyone has any leads into places recruiting actively?

I am currently in Wipro having CTC as 7.8 LPA.. I have got an offer from TCS which is 11LPA.However, my Basic Pay/Fixed compensation is getting reduced from my current base pay in the new offer and also the HRA is getting reduced. The HR is telling that the basic is fixed as per policy and they cannot change it. The base pay is less but there are several other components which are higher. Should I take up the new offer? Please help. Will the reduction in base pay impact my career?

I’m curious. What would you say is the best industry / sector for…1. WLB, 2. Great people / team, 3. Exit opp’s., and 4. Overall (mix of the above). Goes without saying the obvious “it depends on office, team, project, client, etc.” So this is an ask for general observations.

Surprised to see score dipping to 469. Can we expect more dip?
