Not suite nights with SPG. I've never been able to redeem them

like

I actually had great success with the suite nights in Europe - all I requested were approved. I've never had one work out in the US though

They are hard to redeem.. succeeded in using 6 this year. Frankly, was not impressed by the rooms I was "upgraded" to. Usually have gotten better upgrades via complimentary upgrades (the room stock is not necessarily the same between the two types of upgrades).

Losing six in about 12 hours. Honestly I have stayed in suites on all my vacations anyway though. I call ahead and tell the manager it's my anniversary, gf's birthday, we haven't spent time together in 3 months, it's my first vacation since 2000 etc etc. they usually hook it up if something is available.

So if suite night not best option, free night then ?

I'm in a suite in Paris right now...suite night rewards are the way to go

I still went with suite nights for 2017....it's a love hate relationship.

I did the free night because I feel like there's the highest probability that I'll actually use that. I don't really care much for hotel upgrades anyways.

Hi, I'm an employee at a hotel chain who works remotely. I've been working remotely for over a year now and I love it! The company I work for is very supportive of remote workers, which is great.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.

How often do you think you will be traveling in 2022 with COVID mostly behind us? In the final interview/negotiation stages with an agency focused on pharmaceutical marketing as an Account Manager.

Not interested in much travel. Quarterly is manageable. Any insights from others in similar roles??
