What choice benefit should I pick for Marriott platinum? 5 elite nights added for the year or 5 suite night upstages?

Suite nights

OP yes, and from what I read you need to use suite night upgrades for your entire stay (so you couldn’t have a 6 night stay and use the 5 nights for partial time).

I was going to ask the same question, OP. After thinking about it for a while, I may pick the elite nights if it pushes me over to Platinum Premier. I don’t travel much outside of work with the family so to me, status is better.

That all depends on how many nights you think you’ll end the year with

Where do I get them?

Once you incur 50 nights for the year, you get to select your benefit.

I travel with the family a lot and suite nights are extremely valuable to us for everyone to have a bit more space and sleep better. It depends on your situation though and if the elite nights bump you to the next level. If not, enjoy the perks of all your travel and get the suite upgrades! 👍

I’m at 75, can’t remember now....

Just found it, grabbed the 5 suite nights...

Can anyone please elaborate on both options?

@pwc1 5 elite nights adds to your “journey to platinum”. 5 suite nights... im not 100% sure... I think it’s 5 (one night) upgrades from a regular room to a suite when it’s available

Follow-up question. I was able to pick my choice for hitting 50 nights, but when I go back and try and pick again for 75 nights (just hit a few days ago), it says I’ve already picked. Any others have this same issue? Thanks in advance!

I've just recently been hired as an assistant manager at a Canadian outlet store.

I was offered $42k plus bonuses at the interview, but when called back I was offered $44.5k plus bonuses. I already accepted. Did I leave money on the table here?

Lost sense of maximizing points/mileage value for int’l flights. Why is Detla redeeming so much more for some routes than Chase UR and even other partner airlines? E.g. non-stop economy btw Detroit-Seoul // Delta redeeming 160k on its own route while Chase UR 123k & Korean Air 80k for same route (code share)... I get it all depends on timing but still weird directly using Delta Skymiles on its own Delta route is more expensive than going through other methods....

My goal since early 2020 was to hit $100k NW by Dec 2021. It’s going to be March 2022 and I’m at $86k 😔 It’s mostly due to healthcare-related bills I didn’t anticipate.

Covid travel question - for Spain I had to fill out a "health control form" because I am connecting in Madrid to go to Italy. The form had me check a box if Spain isn't my final destination (which it's not) and now says TRANSIT across the top of my QR code. I am connecting to another airline so will need to go get my bags - will I have any trouble since I assume getting my bags is within Spain and after immigration
