I have the visa and it’s worth it. $99/yr for a free night. Used mine at a decent hotel in NYC on New Year’s Eve.

The Marriott visa is absolutely worth it. The fee pays for itself with the free night. The points earning is pretty good too. I pay for my vacation and more every year just using it for normal stuff.

like

I have both the Amex and the Visa from when the Amex was SPG and the Visa was Marriott; will likely cancel both and consolidate to CSR one of these days.

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.

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)
