Ritz Carlton fee going up to $695.

End of an era.

Anyone stay at the Ritz-Carleton in D.C.? I’ve never stayed at a Ritz location so I’m curious to hear what to expect. Will be in D.C. for a conference so my firm is covering the trip.

Went to the wrong hotel because the client books all travel and I was too used to going to the same one for 6 months. Oops. Also Hilton where the hell is my mini fridge? #marriot4life

I am about 100 nights away from reaching the lifetime grandfathered premier access, not sure if I can make it by year end. No longer on travel projects. Any tips? Any new updates from Marriott?

Ritz or JW in Cancun?

Recommendations for hotels in Portugal?? Preferably a Marriott branded hotel. Planning a 5 day trip to Portugal in April.

Do Starwood reservations eventually come over onto Marriott after you combine? Mine still haven’t...

Anyone has any good corporate codes for Hilton? Downtown Chicago if you need an area specific?

Anybody at the Westin Michigan Ave this week? Drinks?

Any Hilton recs in Charleston?

Planning to travel during Thanksgiving (super late in planning as usual) any fun recos- travelling from Chicago have boatloads of AA and Bonvoy points to burn. 7-8 nights

I am sick of seeing these SPG Marriott posts!! Can we talk about something else for a change?

Where are the good point promotions? Spg (soon), Hyatt recently just ended and those were lame. Anyone know good ones going on or starting relatively soon? Interested in rental and air promotions, too.

Strange.

How many people do you think each SPG/Marriott ambassador looks after?

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)

What are some good trips to do with Bonvoy points in the Northeast (thinking more spa/relaxing vs touring cities) e.g Berkshires, Vermont etc

Staying at a Hilton currently and have had tons of minor issues in the 3 days We’ve been here. Room wasn’t ready for 45min after check in time, AC did not work, maids did not clean room...continued

FYI If your name doesn’t match exactly you can’t combine.

And when I called SPG they said the account maintenance wasn’t ready so to call back

Almost 4 weeks in and my status is still wrong. It was correct for the first ~1 day and then bumped down a level. Shouldn’t be hard as all my nights last year were SPG. This is ridiculous.

My mood has been fluctuating so much lately. Some days (yesterday) I wake up feeling invincible and some days (today) want to hide myself the rest of the world and feel like nothing will ever get better. I’m trying to push myself to make plans with other ppl and am really self-conscious about it cuz I don’t want ppl to see me in low spirit.. any ideas on how to fix that?

What's the highest salary you know for a fact that someone in advertising is on, and what's their role and city?

Protocol for responding (or not) to unsolicited emails from recruiters to your work email? In other words, is it acceptable to just ignore without a response? Or do you prefer to keep the line open with a brief “thanks for thinking of me, I am not interested at this time but hope we can collaborate in the future.”

Hi
Applied for a position in Johnson and Johnson Canada. Reached the final round 3 weeks back. After not getting any updates I emailed the HR a couple of weeks back. They responded back telling me that they’ll have an update for me the next week. Again I emailed them on Thursday asking if they have anything for me before the long weekend ( Good Friday & Easter). No response whatsoever. Will emailing them again be inappropriate? I desperately need this job

I have got Gurgaon as base location in offer letter. But since I lost a parent(my father) and relocating is kind of not possible for me at this moment can I ask them to relocate me to Kolkata?

I am only 4 months into being a surgical coordinator. I love the position itself however I am struggling to adapt into my new work environment. My position puts me in a place where I need to interact with my new coworkers but they are not as welcoming as I expected. There is also another surgical coordinator however I have come to find from other staff that there is a long history of her running other staff away and not fully training other surgical coordinator staff properly. Any suggestions?
