Looking for recs for best bang for the Bonvoy points hotels outside the US? I found the Rayong Marriott for only 17,500 points (not sure if it’s nice in person) but that’s what prompted this curiosity

JW Marriott in Phu Quoc. Just got named best hotel in SE Asia. Also one of the most unique places and stunning. It’s higher category but 5 star all the way- w/ 5 night I spent 140k points, best spent on points. Plus upgrade to a really nice suite. SE Asia hotels take really good care of their status members.

How was the lounge? And on site dining/drinks

I stayed at the JW in Kuala Lumpur this year for 17,500 a night. Solid hotel and great location

JW Marriott in Jaipur. Stunning property, super cheap

Transactional associate. Lateraled 6 months ago and one of the biggest pain points has been my new firm’s inclination to “hop on a call”, which of course requires every single stakeholder to join. The end result being every call has 25 people on it and nothing actually gets done because no one wants to ask a question that could come off as silly. It’s destroying my ability to get anything done during the day. It’s a complete performance and it drives me nuts.

For expert witnesses/lawyers

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?
