Upgrades when traveling internationally

Your24 service is pretty good. You can define your own 24hr check in and check out times as long as you make the request in advance (I’ve usually done at least a week before check in date)

Totally useless in the US, but as BCG1 says killer internationally

Business - fast check in, better rooms, easy cancellations

I use my ambassador quite a bit for missing receipts, availability, restaurant recommendations etc

like

Auto-upgrade is nice. But tbh our corp code already gives excellent cancellation terms etc.

Breakfast, lounge, upgrades, priority service

When we stayed at the JW guanacaste in Costa Rica our ambassador surprised us by refunding our whole trip, upgrading us to a named suite with private pool and gave us a $100/day resort credit

Otherwise they’ve not been super helpful domestically

I’ve emailed the ambassador a few times on vacation at RC, SR and other luxury resorts after not getting upgraded and they almost always worked out an upgrade.

Recently switched jobs and had several thousand available to rollover into my new 401K. Also just got married/had a wild bachelor party/overspent on honeymoon, which led to me having about the same amount in high interest credit card debt. Definitely feel like it’s a one time thing and I know how to budget better for trips now. So, my question is, should I use my old 401K amount to just pay off my debt, taking the 10% hit in penalties, or should I roll it over to my new employers 401K?
