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?

Dubai people I live in Marquise Square tower and my neighbor is having a party literally every day till 4-5 in the morning- I spoke to him and he apologized and promised to keep it quiet but he didn’t. So I spoke to the security if they can tell them to calm down and the security said that he can’t do anything as it’s the weekend! Is that normal or should they give me a noise compliance and force him to stay quiet after some time.

Just curious. Why are the ME offices always hiring? Is it because people are leaving all the time versus other regions? Or just that the business grows crazily all the time?
