Last year's was better!! I actually use my leather cord organizer, not sure what I'll do with this bowl but still nice of them to send it!

Ooh! A travel valet! Seriously, that's nice. Packs easily. If you are the type that drops off your EDC (everyday carry) into some container, then this is for you.

Platinum Premier is an unspoken status level, you only make it if you are in the top 5% of Marriott elites. I basically lived in a hotel for a full year, so that did it.

Hotel status is good - not for upgrades, but for the additional points you get for each stay.
These points have paid for so many family vacation stays, I’ll take the status

If you have to ask, you don’t get it :)

Criteria aren’t published but it’s similar to the airlines’ “secret” status too - top x%

What's depressing is that there are so many people spending their lives in hotel rooms and making this status that the cost benefit arrived at this. Makes you think...
