Starting to get pissed at Marriott. First they de-valued the points. Now they won’t let me book with points even though the app shows it as available. When I speak with a rep they’re like sorry not sorry - you can book with actual money and hope the issue is fixed. I was ambassador prior to Covid and have maintained platinum elite since. Do I have any recourse? Totally ok to switch brand loyalty, but want to give them a chance to make it right with me.

My I-485 got transferred from Nebraska to National Benefits Center end of March. Scrolled this bowl and I see a lot of you guys had the same.

Team just applied for a TS Clearance (defense agency). Trying to assess if it makes sense to wait till the clearance comes through (6 months to a year?) before I job hop. I'm hoping to get some clarity on the following:
1. Can my company withdraw or cancel my clearance if I leave right after I secure a TS?
2. In terms of compensation, how much value (% compensation) does a TS clearance have in the DC area? Places I'm considering: AWS, Azure, GCP, Data bricks, Appian etc.
Any advice, thanks!

Thoughts on the new Chase Freedom Flex?

Which CC is better for sign-up bonus - Citi Premier 80K points or Chase Aer Lingus/Iberia 100K Avios points?

I churn somewhat regularly and am under 5/24 by 1. I think Citi's points are more valuable but maybe I should knock out another Chase card before I'm at 5/24 again, even though Avios isn't as versatile?

Best sign up bonus right now that is not the CSP and the Amex platinum?
