Okay, I guess it just depends on how you want to redeem points. I like to earn and redeem at high end properties.

Mid tier Marriott 25,000 points so 1 week to redeem, no double points or any promo 2 weeks (and they just released a promo starting next week).

Mid tier Hilton 45,000 (?) 1.45 weeks to redeem, no Hilton Amex is 1.8 weeks.

So assuming no promo at Marriott and a double points promo at Hilton, Hilton barely wins out.

Also, not sure what the “milestone” bonus you referring to. Hyatt has milestone bonuses but I’m not aware of anything for Marriott.

My American citizen 8 month old is on tourist visa in India; current stay runs out on June 7. Flying outside the country is a risk we don’t want to take w/COVID. Don’t want to overstay the visa either. So we applied online on eFRRO to convert his visa to X-1 so we can apply for his OCI. They didn’t ask for payment and message popped up saying watch your text/email for next steps. Anything else I can do?

Hi friends,
I just wanted to share what I feel for the few months. No drive in my life, been in depression phase.I have recently resigned form the job. I am planning for a career switch, it's been 2 months now. Nothing is going in the right way, feeling very low and no confidence at all. Negativity from the family , relatives constantly invading me for the joblessness. Now I am at my home watching my friends moving abroad, me at the zero level.

I’m not old BUT when I was younger I thought it was important to have all the alphabets after my name (I.e. Phr, SHRM and all the others). I learning that the younger crowd coming into the market thrives off these identifiers yet they know very little about the real world aspects of the job. I watch leadership roll their eyes at the email footers. I feel like keeping those attached to my name hurts my credibility so I removed them…. I’m I thinking wrong?
