I'm gold and I got $30.

I saw reports a few weeks ago of people getting 100k Bonvoy points.

there are a bunch I just don’t have personal experience at any. Though it seems the AC hotel in Times Square or the Le Meridian Central Park might be your best bet

you look for a hotel that is up to 35K points and login online to your account and use it to book any hotel in the world up to 35K points as long as a standard room is available

Hi, I have 2 questions:

1) I think I missed the free nights all the years I had the SPG card...I'm still rather a n00b, unfortunately, and often slow to learn. I closed my SPG cards a couple years back, I'm assuming there's no way for me to get credit for those missed opportunities, right?

2) I currently have no Marriot cards, but my company has been putting me up in a Marriot a lot recently, and I do get the points for the stay. Is there any way for me to maximize my points on the stay? Should I get one of the Marriot cards, it it worth the annual fee?

I know this has been asked before, but didn't see confirmation
annual fee is due, cert was not yet issued. If I cancel now, will I still get the cert?

Spg cards did not give free nights in the past.

If you use a marriot card you get alot more points, depending on the volume of stays it might be worth. + if the cert has a value to you it should be worth it
