Great benefit. I didn't know about it until I saw gold in my account.

Half your year in hotel rooms? That sounds awful.

Yeah...mine was about 150 nights, lifetime Plat, and expensive hotels instead of the typical midwestern region rates...that might help too.

PR stunt!!!

What's your profile look like for getting it? Want to know how close I might be.

150 nights last year

Around 180 nights last year. Also made lifetime platinum last year. No one knows the exact criteria for plat premier.

On the bright side, I'm gonna earn enough nights this year to be play through end of 2019?

Already close to 160 thanks to rollover nights

I use to roll hard in the Marriott rewards world until SPG started up a 1:1 point xfer for Delta miles. Found a few hotels with 3x points rates and a quarterly bonus of 20k points per month if you stay 4nights a week. For the past 2months I've racked up and avg of 15k points a week once that monthly bonus hits.

Any tips on how to find these properties without contacting each EY2?

I am plat premier in Marriott, linked accounts, but only silver on united. Do I need to do anything to get Gold?

Unfortunately no you gotta make the call or shoot an email 😞

This is from points guy it talks how to link it

Should I decline to pursue the opportunity just so I have a longer track record at my current firm? This will be my 4th if I move.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
