Charge it to room and pay with Amex to double up on points. You'll get Marriott points for spend on the bill and credit card points for paying with the card.

Yup, do it with the SPG Amex and get even more value. You get two SPG points per dollar at Marriott with the SPG Amex.

Hello Fishes,

I have got my L2 Dependent Visa stamped for the US through the Wife's organization and she has booked the tickets for the both of us in the next weekend. I am currently unallocated in TCS and seeking projects in the same US location as my Wife. Can I travel to the US just like that and then continue my search within TCS from there or do I need any approvals to even fly in the first place?

I am worried because of the time crunch and will be glad to hear some points on this.
