What do you choose for your annual choice benefit from Marriott and why? I don’t need the night credits or a bed and none of my family/friends could really use silver elite status

I agree with the free night but it’s only for rooms up to 40,000 points so you can’t stay at the nicer properties.

Usually suite nights if I don't need the nights credit for next tier

Yes. They're only available for 1 calendar year, and not available for all brands (e.g., Ritz)

I’ve never been able to use a suite night - the free night is a better choice IMHO

I should end this year with 71 nights so will be using the extra 5 nights credited. Tried using the suite awards several times this year but told they were not available. Then when I checked in got upgraded each time anyway.

5 night credit at 50 nights and free night at 75 nights. One year i missed the deadline to choose so got defaulted into suite night awards. never again.

I believe that they don’t count for lifetime. Actually, I am not sure Platinum/Gold year counts as lifetime if you reach it with the 5 extra nights (this happens as well with double night promos)

Hello!

I finished my final round(s) for a TAM position at

I was supposed to hear back this week (according to the recruiter) but he just told me that it's still in the process and that I'll have to wait for another week or so.

Is this common at Google ? I have heard they are notorious for being really slow with their hiring process.
