spg options in Richmond, VA next week? Westin sold out..

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)

Having to call Marriott to apply a suite night award to an SPG hotel on a reservation you made before the merger and combining accounts proves to you how much is still SO WRONG with this merger.

Best Marriott to Stay in Charleston for 3 nights? Platinum elite. Also looking for any and all recommendations for 4 days in Charleston. Birthday celebration for SO.

Hi everyone! Can anyone tell me what you make as a typical banquet/events manager for salary or per hour? I’ve worked for Marriott/Bonvoy at the Ritz and for the Curio Collection with Hilton as a bartender/server/banquets captain. Now I’m working for a privately owned hotel and as a manager role in Banquets/Events. Because of pandemic times, what is everyone else making?

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.

Does anyone happen to know the PwC discount codes for Hilton and Marriott hotels...asking for a friend

Booked a room at a Marriott property for the Kentucky Derby next year a couple months back and now they are saying they’re overbooked and the reservation isn’t going to be honored. Any help?

Need 6 Marriott nights to titanium (spend doesn’t matter). 1 - would any hotel manager cut you a deal? (Ie if 6 nights is 60k; let me pay 30k and get the nights and I won’t use the room?); 2 - where are cheapest Marriott hotels? I found 10k per night in burbs of Chicago? 3 - would any cheap Marriott let me run this scam remotely? (Ie call Abilene Texas, check me in without my showing up)

SPG app updated for me but not combination

What is the tipping etiquette on the free platinum breakfast in a JW Marriott? The server just gets coffee / orange juice and you serve yourself. It is an overpriced buffet that I would never dine in.

I was platinum lifetime marriott... on the spg app, i now show gold lifetime. That should show Platinum lifetime right?

Guys, we’ve boy-who-cried-wolf-ed ourselves with wire cutoffs. I’m 90% sure they’re fake.

1) I know that most of you will say that buying an expensive engagement ring is a waste and bad, etc. so let’s start with the assumption that I don’t care and it’s happening
2) does it make sense to finance an engagement ring purchase or buy in cash? If financing, how much would you have to put down for a ~$30k ring? (If you’re upset by this number just replace ring with car or education or wedding or whatever you feel good about lol)

I was brought on a project to assist procurement and ap with their transition to new erp. However, I see many issues that get brought up to me in meetings around more strategy based work or process changes that are not in scope for my project. How would you go about trying to help in these areas without stepping on toes or interfering with other internal stakeholders. Part of me feels like the new erp system is causing more issues and you can make a bigger difference through people/process Chang
