There’s always a risk that you could be denied check in or charged a full rate if you’re unable to prove you are permitted to use a rate. Usually the front desk will check if they’re full, you don’t appear to qualify (you and family or friends show up on a Friday or Saturday using a corporate rate), etc. Properties outside the US are much more likely to check in my experience, especially in Germany, Japan and South Korea, but it can happen anywhere, such as I got this week from a new front desk agent at a property in London where many staff know me by name.

I have actually been told by a courtyard that if I can’t prove my employment or verify I should be using the code they wouldn’t honor the rate during my next stay

Booked some Marriott stays on points before the change in redemption rates. It’s now fewer points for the same dates. Is it possible to get the difference back? If so how, call or cancel/rebook

Just got free weekend night reward from Hilton for spending so much $$ on my Amex HH card. Haven’t looked into details yet, but anyone have difficulty using this (calling and booking the room)? Are certain brands excluded? Is it easy to combine with another booking/to include on a vacation?

I've got $150k in the bank. 500k Marriott points and 300k miles. Now that my lease has ended, I'm seriously considering quitting and just taking vacation like the irresponsible millennial I am.

Anyone have any thoughts on how SPG/Marriott hotel prices may change once the programs are combined? I feel like there maybe a shift in demand from people going out of their way to stay SPG (cont.)

I’m Marriott Gold and have the option to do a 9-night challenge to get to platinum. Should I do this, or just switch over to SPG this year? (18 night challenge).

Do stays at Marriott locations count toward SPG and vice versa? Or are only the points transferable?

Newbie question: how does WFH taxes work? I'm taking a new job in seattle and am thinking of staying with family in Chicago for several months (WFH). Would I need to pay Illinois income tax? Read some articles online but am still confused. Appreciate any insight.

Looks like a massive Exodus happened in Deloitte? Trying to staff a project and there is literally no one to staff with (at least Salesforce practice) and we are having to reach out to contractors. Is this a result of layoffs that happened last year and folks are purely unhappy with pay (not considering project pressure as that can vary/be subjective)? For folks who have been here for a long time, is this a common occurrence or is it especially bad this time around?
