I’ve seen that if you book through points, they don’t let you use upgrade certificates. Before Covid, I’ve done that, so likely this is a recent change. Have used certificates successfully on paid bookings.

I’ve been having problems with Marriott lately. Their customer service is in the toilet at this point.

What status are you? I always get upgrades.

We hear your concerns, and regret hearing about your experiences.
The upgrades are always subject to availability. We require to upgrade when there is a possibility to do so.
Just as a personal tip, upon check-in, gently ask the receptionist if there is availability to upgrade you ☺️

funny

I don’t travel much.. so out of curiosity.. what does an upgrade get you in a hotel? Are we talking bigger suite, free meals, etc?

Bigger better suites with access to the lounge if you don’t already have it through status

uplifting

I also have suite nights expiring in 2 weeks :(

I haven't had a big issue with getting upgrades; they come through about half the time. You have a better chance of it coming through if:
- you have a high status,
- the stay isn't that long (the longer the stay, the harder it is to get an upgrade),
- it's not a super high end/luxury hotel,
- it's not an extremely busy time for travel (Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc.), and
- it's a hotel you go to a lot.

Switch to Hyatt already

I’m 1 more year to lifetime platinum - then I’m switching to Hilton. I would do Hyatt but their footprint is too small for me and they don’t have hotels in the location where i frequent. Hilton, Marriott, and IHG will be my go-to after based on whoever offers the best rates.

(1/2) I started a new job less than a month ago at a large firm with a significant pay increase. I work remotely- which is a special arrangement. They paid for my travel to their headquarters for in-person training. After interacting with my manager and some of the attorneys, I feel like I made a mistake. Manager is demeaning and rude. A bunch of the attorneys dropped not so subtle hints that people who work from home are causing all kinds of problems. I don’t know what to do.
