Weekend getaway (for just one night) in Hollywood area... Ritz Carlton for 60,000 points a good idea?

I think so! With the new rates take what you can get...

Yea, stayed there a few months ago for 50K points, is this in the marina?

Can you stay on the west side? Hollywood is kinda dingy, I think you’d be much happier in Santa Monica or Manhattan Beach

OP not Hollywood California right? Don’t think there’s a Ritz there.

Yeah I have to stay near Hollywood heights area. Found an AC Hotel for $119 so going to do that instead of the 60k points!

There’s no RC in Hollywood, there’s a new edition and a W. RC in the Marina is nice though

RC at LA live perhaps. I stayed over the road at the Courtyard and every time I looked out the window I was envious I didn’t stay there

It’s the AC in Beverly Hills - oops!

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers. It was base + comm, now it’s commission only but nothing changed, OT commission is the same, didn’t get more points, just took away the base pay and said work harder basically. So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)

Help!! My bestfriend is doing two months abroad and was trying to fly into turkey when they told her she couldn't because her passport expired within three months.

She went to the US Embassay in Athens knowing she had a month left of traveling, and gave her an emergency passport and punched holes in her exsisting one. Now no country will let her in with her emergency passport.

Can her mom get her a passport in the US and ship it to her? Is there anyway around this?

Thank you!!
