Best SPG or Marriott in San Francisco?
Quick qstn - I'm receiving HRA of 24075 from my employer but I would like dhow the rent paid as 96k p.a (while filing ITR). Even if I do so, I was only able to get exemption of 24075 from gross. Checking if we can speak to payroll department to increase Actual HRA since I'm actually paying more rent than compared. Will I be able to do so ?Deloitte Newco EY Accenture Genpact KPMG

Lufthansa first class ticket from NYC to Bangkok. It was amazing. Second was Qatar q suites from ATL to India.

Yeah, I struggle to figure out how to use points for flights…
Heh.
190k for 5 nights at the Ritz-Carlton Dove Mountain. Fifth night free since with points, then upgraded thanks to Ambassador status to a full suite. Probably around $3600-4000 of rooms
Then used 90k Delta SkyPesos + regional upgrade certificates for trans-US flights in first class. About $2500 of flights give or take
Mixed corporate CDP code with Hertz President’s Circle to get a BMW 220i convertible for the week at $200. Would have cost maybe $900 or so without it
So… maybe $7k+ of travel across three programs for a killer vacation
Pro
Gotcha. What you listed sounds cool, but not my up alley. My plan is to check out Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix and then just ride somewhere out into the country to see dark skies. And some proper Mexican food of course
Marriott suite night awards, oddly.. Used 9 SNAs to upgrade a $300/night room at a JW to a $1000/night legit 2-room suite. $6300 benefit not bad right
You can choose 5 SNAs when you get Platinum and Titanium, so I had 10 to use. They expire at EoY so gotta use em, but they don't always work, so I got pretty lucky and traveled during the off season

A1 How did you get a free ticket? Free stopover/open jaw?

I got 4 nights at Conrad at ~30k amex points/night in Tulum, Mexico, free breakfast each day, early check in, late check out, basic room to ocean view suite upgrade, $375 credit towards overall stay. I think that was pretty good, but I heard some crazy stories of aspirational vacations.
Oh damn I would’ve jumped on this too.
I found that I didnt like the miles rewards. I now find that I use paceline to get 5% cash back just for working out. It 5% on health and beauty, groceries and 3% on everything else. I think it adds up quicker than airfare miles, plus i don't fly enough.
