Someone needs to teach me how to get points for bad experiences... came home from a Sheraton with ton of bug bites, no compensation except for an apologetic phone call... (cont)

@M1 sorry i like to travel for free ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Dude I got 30k points when the elevator wasn't working and you only for 5k for bedbugs??? Y'all need to make a bigger fuss - bed bugs are a big deal!

like

Why shouldn’t he/she get points. Bed bugs is a huge issue and they are liable. He should get rewarded for suffering

like

F 5k points. I would spread the gospel about how bad the hotel is on social media, call the SPG Corporate office and tell them unless you give me whatever the highest or second highest SPG status is for 5 years, you will never stay at SPG again and you will report it to the local paper, BBB, etc. This isn’t a dirty washcloth or an unclean room. You were physically harmed and the shit hotel should be held accountable for this. Maybe M1 is the manager at that Sheraton or something but don’t roll over like that

like

"I'm very disappointed as my experience did not live up to what has been and I know to be the true level of quality that Sheraton, and in particular this hotel, is known for. I would hope that given my loyalty to the Sheraton brand we can come to an understanding so this doesn't happen in the future. Please let me know if you'd rather I speak to your supervisor or if there's someone else better equipped to handle this"

like

I’d be a grown up about it and just let them know you will be staying somewhere else from here on. People who get boners over squeezing points out of hotels are obnoxious. Don’t be like them.

like

Yeah I would tell them how about you get a $5K retainer for an attorney because I’m calling one unless you rectify this

like

Agree with M3!

like

Agreed - on top of points, I would not be paying for that hotel stay.

like

No, this is NOT okay. It's unfair to the rest of us to live in that fear until you "report back on Monday", dear OP. If you didn't want to put the hotel on blast, you shouldn't have used the word "Sheraton" in the first place, just saying "my PSG hotel" would've done. Please don't play with our sanities, tell us which Sheraton it was.

like

Bed bugs are a huge problem ... hope you steam cleaned all the stuff you had in that room. Otherwise consider taking measures in your own place.

like

I am with you OP: woke up with bed bugs on my bed and had 5k points just because I submitted pics of said bugs. Funny because a friend of mine got 7k because her room was not in order...

like

Yep, working on that...their first offer was 5k, which I found a bit insulting for the magnitude of the problem

like

Dude OP you need to tell us which Sheraton you were in. I just checked out of one a couple hours ago. Please.

like

Thanks team for the advice - I specifically asked for points this time. Will report back & put the property on blast if they don't follow through on comp, but they've already shut down the room until they can get an exterminator in on Monday so y'all are probably okay 👌🏼

Colleague has put in his resignation. They are offering him whatever he wants to stay including 4days a week work from home. He’s not bluffing and plans to leave. However, at this same time I was asked to begin working as a supervisor for the engineering team and I would get a promotion at the beginning of the year. I have been supervising and managing our team of 6 for months with no extra pay or bonuses. I was told yesterday that raises will be light this year. Yet today they spare nothing.
