Theories on how Marriott will handle lifetime w/ Starwood? I'm at ~600 nights, 1.7m points. Probably won't make it to lifetime platinum before before 2018. Stopped travel. SPG: 200 nights, 300k points

It's on the website. They'll match your lifetime gold though. You can do it online. #LifetimePlatinumBish 🏆

Similar scenario

I'm barely below lifetime gold in both Starwood and Marriott. I'm hoping when they combine I will somehow qualify as I've stopped travel too

The Marriott program, bites and points wise, takes over and follows the conversion process already in Place, just a question of the perms, hopefully those follow SPG

SPG here hoping lifetime status follows Marriott-esque rules but with conversion of points earned with SPG at the 3:1 ratio... 10 years of status was the bottleneck for SPG lifetime platinum.

Your firm is designing it

SPG folks, don't hold your breath. -The Insider

Yeah if they combine points, with the conversion, and combine lifetime nights, then I will be fine. If there's a number of years platinum hurdle I won't like that, unless it's also combined.

There's also the possibility of making it harder. Which is my real fear. An unknown, moving target.

I'm a woman working in a male-dominated organization. I'm also the newest member of the team. My coworkers have been given approval to travel to see customers, even internationally, but my boss won't let me. I've been held back in more ways than just travel & have even had accounts taken away from me & given to my male coworkers.

I discussed this unequal treatment with my boss 10 days ago, then abruptly yesterday I took a call from HR telling me that I was being let go.

Any leads for hiring?

Recruiting for a Corporate Strategy role (individual contributor) for a non-profit focused on the Accounting & Finance professions.

Role is fully remote (no travel), incredible WLB (seriously), and comp is $85-$110K (all base, no bonus), depending on experience, which for this role, we are targeting 2-6 years of consulting, strategy, or other similar experience. This should be considered a pre-MBA role.

DM me for additional details if interested. Thank you!
