New Hilton 3x promo or stick Marriott? What’s better

Would say yes it’s worth it unless you’re trying to get nights/status for lifetime Marriott

Just doing the math average points values using Aspire:
(10 pts base + 20 pts card promo + 10 pts diamond + 14 points card)* 0.4¢/pt = 21.6% returns

Comparing to Marriott platinum using Bonvoy card:
(10 pts base + 7.5 pts platinum + 7 pts card) * 0.7¢/pt = 17.15%

This holds for CSR/AmEx plat also and even assuming conservative 0.35¢/pt for Hilton

interesting. never happens to me. anything with high cash rates ($500+) is always like 200k points per night... no thanks

The only people I’ve ever heard say Marriott is best are the people who have only ever gained status with Marriott.

That’s not to say that you shouldn’t stay at Marriott properties. They have tons of hotels and different brands and that carries value. Their loyalty program is just shit.

luxury collection/ritz/jw/st regis are all super solid (some are amazing) and usually not more than 60k points per night. hilton has conrad and waldorf and london which charge 120-300k points per night. hilton is only good for cheaper properties or properties in cheap cities imo.

promos go away. Marriott better long term

I got hired not long ago. I realise some of the employee benefits i was told (missing in the contract) contradict with what’s stated on the law. So i email the boss about it and ask for clarification. Immediately after the email i was fired.

Just want to make sure people know this and don’t apply jobs in this shady company- it is called UniQ Biotech, in Delta, BC, Canada

Do you continue to see in-flight interview processes through once you’ve received and accepted an offer?

I’m 23 and independent. Working full time and studying full time is taking a serious toll on my mental health. I’m always tired, unmotivated, depressed, sometimes angry at my life, and I don’t know what to do. I’m in my sophomore year. I also don’t work in the field that I’m studying (computer science) because I’m always rejected without an interview, which is another aggravating factor for me. It’s hard to have time to work on personal projects to make my portfolio more attractive.
