New year, new points! Can I check in and check out of the same hotel in the same week in order to build up stays? Sounds ridiculous but I’m desperate for status

No, needs to be different hotels. What program are you trying to get stays at? Marriott is only nights for elite qualification now.

Thanks, I’m working with Hilton points.

Hilton Aspire Card gets you to Diamond straight and the card pays for itself, I wouldn’t try anything else. $450 makes $600+ if you use all the benefits wisely. However, Hilton status is useless these days.

FYI, Marriott doesn’t let you count stays anymore - only nights. In 2018, they allowed stays for legacy SPG, but 2019 onwards, it’s only nights.

I did this with Hilton years ago, it needs to be a different property to count as another stay. I used to bounce between 3 every week lol

Thank you. I think I’m going to do this ha

You don’t even need 3 properties. Check in to the first one Monday, the second on Tuesday, and the first one again on Wednesday .

Hilton spells it out fairly well, but roughly they consider a “stay” any one or more consecutive nights in the same hotel.

Good call, I’ll be trying out this approach this week!

Don’t laugh - Hilton.
I’m on my first real travel projects after years of local projects and waiting for a guarantee of 15nights (or w/e it is) for the SPG rewards challenge.

I would make multiple single night reservations for the same SPG hotel, the hotel would “connect” them so I didn’t have to check and out, and I always got credit for separate stats. Not sure about the rules post merger.

Both SPG and Marriott closed this loophole well before the merger.

Living in Van. Previously lived in Toronto. Obviously rent prices are high as is cost of living. Generally go out and spend more often living in a city. Boyfriend and I on good salary but not saving much due to the above. Before we move home to our own country, we’d love to spend a year close to Vancouver where rent is cheaper, temptation is less, to save. A commute to Vancouver 1-2 times a month needs to be possible (his job). That can be a flight if it’s not crazy. Thoughts? Recommendations?

$GOL and $AZUL: high risk trade here but sharing the idea. Both getting HAMMERED right now due to Brazil covid sitch being the worst maybe in the world. Also strong dollar hurts their earnings overall. Earnings are coming in about a week. Potential for reversal there but the big play is if they are bad (they should be) and both go down further. At that point it's a good idea to load up on LEAPS.

Pretty sure the answer is self explanatory but first year with real status. Does Marriott status reset Jan 1? For instance if I need 10 nights for Platnium am I SOL if I stay 9 nights by Dec 31?
