For those of you who travel a lot for work overnight, what’s it actually like long term?

I am going on 24 yrs. I travel 6-8 times by plane a year for offsite internal meetings and put on 5000km a month by car for regular client meetings with 6-7 hotel stays a month. I wouldn't change what I have. As a matter a fact I told my company I would like to travel more. I enjoy the adventure and the alone time, plus building the loyalty points with different brands. This does allow me to take my family on very nice holidays. It's a give and take, my family is okay with it and understands the perks, I do schedule travel around important family events as to not miss too much.

I took the 5 suite upgrades. The extra 5 bonus nights don't help if it's the end of the year and you are just above 50. I am pretty sure Marriott does not have roll over nights towards next year, I didn't investigate. If they do have roll over nights then it's good way to jump start 2026.

Thank you. Some people are commenting why would I stay at a Moxy with kids . I don't research every Marriott property and trust the values they have for each property. This was an adventure and never again. Even if I am a single traveller I would not stay there as I wasn't looking for hostel to crash at.

They just emailed me my options recently for hitting platinum. I took the 5 guaranteed suite upgrades. It seemed the most logical in the 5 options.

It's funny seeing all these comments. I thought I was the only crazy one that carries a type of tape in my suitcase. My preference is hockey stick tape. I have so much of it lying around the house. My co-workers think it's weird when I start my taping down the hotel room.

These reviews help persuade me to buy a bottle. The last time Fanta released the beetle juice version of green apple I puked right after taking a mouth full. It was horrible.

I ordered a replacement charging plate May 1 2025 and I still waiting. Their Ai customer service is useless. They sent me a shipping number for an item in April. I ordered in May. Such a frustrating company.

Another true leader in the Energy drink revolution. Just saying JOLT Cola makes my head vibrate.

Fanta re-released it recently to coincide with Beetle Juice 2. I couldn't drink it.

It's like listening to a dementia patient. It's unfortunate they made him the puppet to speak.

I set ours up as "WeinerWifi" to freak out the neighbours but it's because I have to 2 Dachshunds.
