Worth it to "status run" Marriott ambassador by dropping 60k points on a random hotel by my house?

I'm lifetime Titanium and never made Ambassador until last year. It was not worth the effort.
For 60k points it would be a definite no.

Honestly no.

Tbh, I’d struggle to justify it even if it’s 60k Marriott points. Absolutely no way I’d transfer. Very little tangible benefit improvement in my experience

No

Nope

Hi fishes
Need suggestion. Got an offer with a product company A through referrel with just 70% hike. They initially told me to not look for any offer as it is a referral.

Now, I got another offer with around 150% in another product company B. Joining date in both are by next week. How to politely reject the offer from Company A ( they won't match the new offer). I am afraid if there is any consequences.

Now giving interview with Chubb, Will Chubb match this offer?

Please guide me 🙏
