Please explain Marriott Bonvoy points like I’m 5. I’m considering a monthly rental and they quoted me 2 rates; with earning points or without which is about 2500 AED cheaper. They said I’ll earn 2.5 points per $1 spent and 10 elite credit nights/month. All the benefits to be credited after check out.

Is this worth it? How does nightly redemption work? blockout dates? Does nightly redemption work on any season as long as there’s availability? Good idea to open credit card to maximize?

You may want to share / do the math on how much the rent (ie how may Marriott points you will earn) compared to the 2.5k aed

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷
