Oh Westin Southfield.... like a verruca you are familiar yet somewhat unwelcome experience....

Best credit card for travel?!? And, why? Never really used airport lounges.

I have the Marriott Bonvoy, SW rewards and CSP.

Friend asked to buy my SPG/marriott points. How would that work hypothetically? $0.027/SPG , $0.009/Marriott? (According to Points guy) & transfer to their account?

FYI If your name doesn’t match exactly you can’t combine.

And when I called SPG they said the account maintenance wasn’t ready so to call back

What is the tipping etiquette on the free platinum breakfast in a JW Marriott? The server just gets coffee / orange juice and you serve yourself. It is an overpriced buffet that I would never dine in.

Staying at a Hilton currently and have had tons of minor issues in the 3 days We’ve been here. Room wasn’t ready for 45min after check in time, AC did not work, maids did not clean room...continued

Brisbane hotels - Hilton or Sofitel?

Staying downtown Columbus Hilton for my wife’s job conference and we have to use valet parking since I need to use my car to go to work every day. $40 a day, how much do I tip and is it when I drop my car off and when they bring it to me in the morning?

What are some good Marriott properties to stay at in the Dallas area with points?

Looking for tips on where to go in Caribbean in March. Ideally a great SPG/Marriott/Hyatt on the beach with solid local nightlife in walking distance.

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.

What is everyone’s thoughts about Hilton? Just got asked to interview

I was platinum lifetime marriott... on the spg app, i now show gold lifetime. That should show Platinum lifetime right?

Does anyone have 120K bonvoy points they’re willing to sell? How much?

The new SPG app is not intuitive at all, very hard to navigate i find.

With Michael Thomas out, who would you replace him with in a PPR league today, TY Hilton or Emmanuel Sanders?

Like Sanders but worried about Brees after 4 weeks off.

FYI - Just went on the Marriott website and selected the option to combine both spg and Marriott accounts. All stays and details updated. Past history to be updated in 48 hours. Get it done folks!!

Hi, Looking for referrals... around 8 years of work ex. Want to work as backend lead. Nodejs. Anyone?

Reposting from HR bowl: I’ve heard there is a hiring boom, especially for L&D roles. I was let go recently from a toxic environment (removed the company from everything) after only 4 days of work. I’m actively job searching but not receiving ideal hits. I see a lot of senior level L&D roles but not as many for specialist roles, specifically in tech. I have 5.5 years of experience. Any advice for me? I’m also seeking therapy for the trauma & coping, now ready for securing that next role!

I am a construction project manager and have managed very high end 40,000 + custom estate projects. I am looking to do residential development projects as well but need a finance partner.

NeedMore$:
I started QA at the company I am currently at 3 years ago. Long story short, within 4 months at the company, I was able to make a career change and step into a PM position. Without having the formal education or PM experience, only my 5 years in QA experience. When I started I made $65k and have jumped to $78k. I have seen other companies post $100k+. Annual review is tomorrow. Should I fight for more or look for more somewhere else if I lose that fight?

Bureaucracy banning ppl from talking and sending messages directly to senior managers,partners without approval from your senior/manager. Why do we just kneel down to them instead? Ridiculous.

When they say utilization doesn't count for the month of May/June what exactly does that entail? I'm assuming being on the bench for those months will still show on personal utilization reports...
