Topic Wiki

I'm trying to summarize success stories mentioned in this thread.
From @TC610
It never hurts to ask - retention is a big YMMV.  If you don't like the offer given to you when you call for retention, ask for a better one.  Scan through the thread (use the search bar - reading through 130+ pages of posts can be time consuming) to see what others have been offered. Please post what you've got if its better then whats in the WIKI

No special technique. I believe they already have some sort of system for every account to determine whether it's eligible and for what offer. They just pull it up upon calling.

Lucky, I got the 10k points on BBP a couple months ago and just took it. Didn't think to ask about statement credit

Got 2 offers on Bonvoy Amex Biz: 15k Bonvoy points + 15k after 2k spend OR $50 credit + $100 credit after 2k spend.

Points is the better deal right? Just feel like it's so much harder to get amazing value from Marriott these days

And to think I just downgraded my CSR 2 weeks ago to a Freedom to get a CSP but it didn't even switch in the system quick enough. Ugh

Thanks. I think it’s spend dependent. Was denied at 2:30, no spend besides for the $300 travel credit.
