You should ask the front desk if they even know who you are. I hear that works

They already charged $500 a night thanks to all the demand...

I never get an upgrade even with platinum premier

D1- I've only been upgraded twice and it was because I was friends with the front desk staff on my last project. Although the shitty courtyard in Hawaii tried to tell me they "upgraded" me to a room with a balcony after our room wasn't ready when I arrived. I publicly shamed the front desk woman for blatantly lying (you can very obviously see EVERY room at that hotel has a balcony). To top it off there was a massive blood stain on the comforter in the room when it was finally ready. Is that what they call an upgrade these days?!?

You're only going to get upgraded in small towns or if you book pretty far in advance. I was upgraded to the presidential suite for a wedding about two weeks after I made platinum, but it was in a pretty small town.

You chose Marriott... We told you

Unfortunately, it's the only Marriott around. Unless you stay at Ventura! :) And if you have to pay $500 a night, I suggest you Bacara! Check it out

It's move in weekend. No shit.

Can someone walk me through the Do's and Don't's of AA miles? I think they're a joke.

My mom has 12k miles that expire soon, transferring them would cost me $450. I can pay for a round trip with that cash but I can only pay for a trip to my kitchen with those 12k miles.

What am I doing wrong? 😂
