Design, luxury collection, st Regis, W, Westin. I try not to go below this

Yeah Le Meridien is like the creepy uncle in the SPG family

like

Reasoning: design and lux collection are nice enough and more interesting than st Regis. I'm bored of Regis after years as a consultant, although clearly nice. Westin I hate that white tea aloe product -- especially the shitty body lotion.

P.s. Then le Meridien. That brand is weird -- it's meant for intellectuals or museum goers or something right? Just seems weird

Yeah, LM's a bit misguided. There are some that are super nice and swanky, and then others that are in terrible need of renovation. +1 on hating Westin products.

Lompoc LM... Weird place!

Maybe Marriott will rationalize LM brand

St Regis and then everything else

Hi fellow fish need some advice.

I'm planning a wedding and wondering if I should apply for new credit cards to maximize on points. If so, wondering what your recommendations are and or if there are new cards out there I haven't heard of yet. For context I probably have another 20k+ in expenses to pay still and my current cards are:

CSP
Marriott Bonvoy Boundless
Citi double cash
Random card (used to be uber)

How do firms calculate how much parental leave to provide, either paid or unpaid.

We get four weeks paid and four weeks unpaid. Would like to push for more but not sure how to argue costs side of it.
