I happen to have 3.7k spg points.. can I use them for this?

You can get it transferred to your Marriott rewards from SPG. Well the only ways I can think of are - get a Marriott credit card and travel to high cost locations and stay at Marriott property. Alternatively I am guessing you can even purchase points like you can with airlines.

Yes 1 Spg point = Marriott so that'll get you to like 112

You can also transfer UA miles to Marriott points!

Get the credit card

Get the credit card for the 70k bonus

100k Marriott that's like 1 night at spg

I prefer JW over the Ritz. I've stayed at a lot of the Ritz and some are very disappointing. The service is always great but Platinum doesn't get the club lounge. JW has similar service standards and lounges, plus more modern than a Ritz.

What does it mean if there’s a NEP at the firm who’s been there for a long time (20+ years), but never got promoted to EP? Never held leadership roles too. Does it usually mean EPs does not like the NEP enough to get promoted?

The NEP has a book of business, though no idea how much it brings in.
