Worth getting one of the Marriott cards to hit Titanium? Don’t travel a ton personally (not for work) and would probably use my Chase card for flexibility in redemption but the Bold or Boundless both seem decent

The status doesn’t do much to be honest. You’ll get more points but if you’re not traveling for work I wouldn’t go out of my way

I do travel a good amount for work, just not for personal stay (or I stay in AirBnBs)

There’s really only 2 perks to the titanium status compared to platinum. The free night reward and the extra points on Marriott spend

I’d just do the math and see if it’s worth while. But unless you’re traveling a lot in the first place, you’re not going to benefit much.

Is there a downside to getting the Bold then? Isn’t it just basically a free night and more points?

My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
