Looking to open a Marriott credit card to get the 15 elite nights to renew status. Currently deciding between the Bold ($0 annual, 75k pts welcome bonus) and the Boundless ($95 annual, 100k pts welcome, annual free night). Likely won’t put any material spend on the card beyond first 3 months. Which should I choose?

Very straightforward:
1. Would you buy 25k points for $95 (not a terrible deal if you stay at Marriotts
2. Long term, do you stay at Marriotts around the 35k point level and pay more than $95 a night

If you think you will use the free night, Boundless is a no brainer. $95 for $35k points towards a room is good value. Rooms I use them for are always $150+ and no taxes.

The free night comes in handy and the rooms/hotels I’ve used it on have been more expensive than $95

Thanks all!

Hi,

I’m approaching YE compensation discussions and was curious to see what folks/the industry are paying for institutional middle-market sales/distribution/business-development roles. I have 3yrs of experience with the same firm and am currently working as a sales analyst for the institutional sales team in NA. I have experience with traditional long only solutions, real estate (primarily value add funds), and a sector specific hedge fund. Any and all feedback is welcome!

Total tax liability is around 400000. Any other options do I have to save tax further (other than HRA, LTA)? Thanks in advance.
