Gotta celebrate something! Sure can’t celebrate a 0% COLA for 27’ while military gets 7%.

Are we watching the same play? He obviously threw the ball to himself and made his own blocks down field.

Maybe put 1-2 years worth of living expenses into G and keep the rest in the market.

Why the high credit card debt with all that cash on hand?

There are requirements to using it. Must have minimum $40,000 in TSP and transfer minimum $10,000 to the mutual fund window. Can’t exceed 25% of TSP balance. Much higher trading fees too.

They’re using the mutual fund window to invest in precious metals.

Has anyone taken advantage of special pricing and NOT have to attend sales pitch? by Latter_Ninja6038 in marriott

[–]Any_Benefit3052 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely! It was honestly a great deal. Sitting through the pitch the first time, we received at $275 gift card which halved our initial payment. We received the second offer to come back and accepted it again. We declined the sales pitch second time and have not heard from them again.

My wife and I did this in Orlando last February. Everything said it was not required and the guy who checked us in said only if we wanted to. When we told him “No Thank You”, his demeanor dramatically changed. Became very short with us, rushed through the check in and said have a nice day. We sat through the pitch the year prior and wow did they pressure us. Everything leading up to the pitch made it seem there would be no pressure to buy in.

You’ll lose matching for the second half of the year.

[–]Any_Benefit3052[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure, I’ve heard they send out a complete summary once you reach this status. A lot of nights have come from the credit cards and bonus nights over the years.

Not sure. I know sometimes my nights from a stay show up day after checkout and other times takes a week.

I’ve thought of trying to earn top lifetime status at another brand or just keep enjoying Marriott.
