New Traveling fish here. 🙋🏻. I'm considering between the Amex SPG or the Marriott rewards premier. (Marriott and SPG platinum already) Which of the two would max my points? Thanks!

I mean they always "force" the corporate card right? But you can be creative how to get around it. I still think SPG points are easier to accumulate and better value per point. Especially since you can transfer from SPG to Marriott and vice versa. I'm platinum on both because of the linking but I definitely prefer SPG properties.

Yes they do A1. OP, new to traveling but already platinum? A lot of personal travel or what?

But why not get more points/$ in the meantime?

Does EY force you to use your corporate card for all your expenses? If not, you may want to look into the CSR.

SPG Amex gets you 2 Starpoints per dollar at Marriott and Starwood properties. This converts to 6 Marriott points per dollar, which is better than what the Marriott card earns.

SPG goes away completely in 2018, so you may as well go with the Marriott card now.

@k1 how can you be creative?

Hi all,

I just got a job with Delta airlines and I had an accomodation request to work remotely as I am Immunocompromised. I provided all the neccesary documents to back up my request and letters and documents from my Dr. aswell. My request was denied because the team said they wanted me to have face time and one on one interactions with people from other team (which defeats the purpose of my request) because I have to limit those interactions to reduce the risk of infection. What do I do?

Work related expenses will be minimal, but Im moving/furnishing an apartment so personal spend will be decent. TIA!

Almost 4 weeks in and my status is still wrong. It was correct for the first ~1 day and then bumped down a level. Shouldn’t be hard as all my nights last year were SPG. This is ridiculous.

I join tcs by changing my profile and my previous exp was in 5 yr pre-sales.
I am giving my best in work but still escalations are raised against me by client.
My husband is also in tcs he is moving to onsite in Jan and my travel is also planned mid next year.
I am giving 12hour daily in my job to adjust in new profile. And affecting my health now.
Shall I quit the job and move with my husband with on dependant visa? Or i shall continue to get pressurized and wait for my onsite?
Plz suggest.
