Started recently traveling for my first project and looking to stick w/ one hotel - Hilton or Marriot. Any different benefits/rewards by choosing one over the other? Or is it just personal preference?

Marriott

I prefer Hilton. In my experience with staying at both corporate chains, I have always received a stellar and consistent experience with Hilton. They really take care of me. Even after being loyal to Marriott for years, I wasn’t getting the service I am getting from Hilton within just two years. Now SPG was a different matter.

Now that Starwood ia part of Marriott, I would go with Marriott. Starwood's level of service has always been consistent and innovative. It has been a while since I have stayed at a Hilton brand. Hilton is also good and they were my second choice to Starwood, but is is all a personal preference. Marriott's service is more limited and old fashion. The hotels are also more traditional. Starwood has more modern properties and better options abroad when you want to use points for personal travel.

I believe that card does not charge you a percentage for international charges. You might want to double check. That makes it worth it for me.

I usually prefer hiltons. Found them to be a bit nicer.

I believe hilton has an easier fast track to diamond for corporate travelers, so it might be good to start with them and do a status match later on

Thanks for all your input fellas & ladies. I decided, Marriott going forward. Is it worth it to get their Bonvoy credit card? Anyone find hotel credit cards useful when traveling?

So I worked from home yesterday and my husband had a sneak peak on my meetings with clients (which I’m very new to being a senior). He mention that I should read some sales pitch books of some sorts so I can get a process down and not be drain from having genuine conversations with every client. I think it’s a great idea. Anyone have thoughts or recommendation?

Do you all feel that the Health Insurance choice is actually all the same? The coverage is absolutely copy and paste for Bronze to Platinum and the deductible/copay is very similar.
I just don’t understand why we have the illusion of “choice” if the offer is the same and it is really bad (in our case).
Going from $61 per paycheck for 2.5k deductible 75% copay to $500+ per paycheck with 500 deductible 85% copay.
