I do think the 75 point is very worth it

The 100 point is not. Ambassadors are not necessarily a help.

you can get 5 nights credit as plat benefit

This is after the 5 night credit

premier only gives you an ambassador, right? people here have been saying they’re pretty useless. more like a dedicated customer service rep. so maybe not.

No this is the first level of premier (so you get 75% bonus in points versus 50% bonus at platinum)

Yes. You can even find the cheapest hotel and redeem points for 4 nights which will give u the elite nights as well. Or maybe splurge a little on an extended weekend.

Find a cheap hotel for a long weekend. The extra 25% on points on stays next year will be worth it

I am a field marketer. I travel and cover 12 states. HQ is across the US on the east coast.

I stood up and asked to be included on available dates and said I will attend virtually but asking me to be away for 4 additional full days away from my family without asking me is not OK. I already travel a lot and this boundary is super important to me. Am I right or wrong?
