Sheraton overbooked me and transferred me to a Marriott. Also gave me 11K points to “compensate for inconvenience”. How much should I ask for?

Lol @ "as low as $200". Mine is $94.

Hotel management can (and should) give you twice the number of points you need to reserve a standard room at their property. Most of our corporate rates and statuses mean that rooms are guaranteed and they take this seriously. I had it happen twice at a Sheraton in Manhattan and they bent over backwards to make it right.

There is a page on their website that specifically outlines how much you’re entitled to should you run into this scenario. You should ask for that much.

I believe you are also supposed to be given cash in hand for the inconvenience (that may have changed with merger). Can't look up this second, but maybe another fish can confrim

Except mine is a suburban town with room rates as low as 200usd. In this case - how much would you ask for?

Thanks KPMG1

Last time that happened to me I got 10k SPG points (30k Marriott)

Lyft driver delayed picking me up 30 min, resulting in me canceling my ride and asking hotel to call me a “yellow taxi” to get to the airport because it was 5am and all ubers/lyfts were 15 min. Specifically said yellow. Hotel calls me a private lux SUV and the driver got out of the car to handshake the man who called and said hi (honestly money couldve been passed). I then get hit with a $180 ride. Marriott website says taxi should be $65. Should I complain or let it go?

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers. It was base + comm, now it’s commission only but nothing changed, OT commission is the same, didn’t get more points, just took away the base pay and said work harder basically. So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)
