SPG or Marriott? (Yes, I am following the acquisition but that might take a while and they might not combine rewards programs.)

Guys, I don't see any key takeaways. Can y'all refine the story we are trying to tell?

@pwc hope that helped. 😉

If you think you can routinely get projects in big cities, SPG. If you get stuck in a smaller city, there might not be any SPG hotels. I like to maintain both.

like

SPG has better properties, domestic & international. Marriott has a lot more options in the US. I don't travel a lot internationally, so chose Marriott for breadth.

@MC1 haha not at all!! where is all the insight?!

It's honestly about location to me. I pick the closest hotel to my client location so capitalize on what's most important to me....sleep. I prefer SPG but i trend to Marriott because I know my consulting stint will be short and Marriott lifetime is much easier to get.

like

I choose marriott for the same reason as D1. I got staffed in Midwest projects early on and have just stuck with marriott ever since

like

Agree... Location is key. I do Marriott for a super short commute every morning (aka more sleep). Others on my project drive 30+ mins every morning bc they want SPG. Not worth it to me.

like

Marriott said they're keeping the program's separate for now but will eventually merge them. I'll second SPG though. The redemption value is significantly better.

like

SPG. I've always liked their properties better. Plus they have some killer promotions going on right now

there is no debate.

Living in Van. Previously lived in Toronto. Obviously rent prices are high as is cost of living. Generally go out and spend more often living in a city.

Before we move home to our own country, we’d love to spend a year close to Vancouver where rent is cheaper, temptation is less, to save. A commute to Vancouver 1-2 times a month needs to be possible (his job). That can be a flight if it’s not crazy. Thoughts? Recommendations?

Looking for referrals for a Technical Sales Executive position that is Remote (USA), possibly in the industrial sector.
