Who should get my loyalty? United or American?

EY, I got my Roth IRA contributions set to max (30%). Does Fidelity automatically lower the % and stop contributions afterwards once I reach my 2022 limit?
Also at Deloitte, I had a couple thousand contributed in the beginning of the year. Does EY's 401k keep track of that as well towards the limit?

Personally, I would ask for the hotel to be burned down

Bring your pet cockroaches on every trip and watch dem points rack up 🔥
LMAO!!! ^^This
5k points per bug, thats my going rate. How big is the roach? The meaty ones can even fetch you 20k
Im payin 25k for the meaty ones. The little suckers are tasty
You would live with cockroaches for points. 😖

Depends on if you are planning on keeping the cockroach. Is your status high enough that you get one for free every day?

For real though: Marriott’s daily bed bug allowance is unmatched.
I do not have a good experience with Hilton. In Myrtle Beach I requested to change a room due to the terrible smell (it smelled like a wet dog combined with mold and chemicals). My next room was worse: needless, durty dipers and chicken bones (at least it looked like)... We went to another hotel, and ended up paying double, because it was impossible to book anything at decent prices...
In Miami area I went to grub a coffee with my husband around 7:30 am, and when we were back to Hilton around 8:15 am our staff was gone and house keeper was on the middle of cleaning 😑, and she said that she must prepare a room for the next guest. We did not check out.... Manager could not say anything except: "we can offer you another room till check out time".... Really?
I am trying to avoid Hilton at any cost...
I never had a problem with Hyatt or Marriott
Marriott are great
At a Marriott I’d ask for a minimum of 10K points and to be moved
Wow, this happened to me at a Crowne Plaza in Miami once. Told the front desk dude and he wasn’t the least bit fazed, so of course I got nothing. Maybe just a Florida thing 🤷♂️

Was it alive? What climate?
I’m someone who doesn’t tip much but even I wouldn’t ask for 10000 points…maybe I should tho good idea. But I would def be more aggressive if it was a personal trip versus business
Was given points equivalent to 1 night stay at hyatt
That was a 1x experience at a dumpy airport hotel. Love hyatt. Incredible loyalty program, albeit smaller footprint.
I’ve gotten around 50k points for a bad roach problem (multiple, changed hotels)
