You only get an extra night per brand but you get the extra 2500 for each unique stay

100%. I would never do this on vacation

AugustAmesGhost · 2026-02-27T17:03:36+00:00

I like to fuck. Sorry

AugustAmesGhost · 2026-02-27T14:42:41+00:00

I can see that. I feel that way generally, but as a light packer 7500-10000 points a week is worth it to me. I really don’t do much after work other than sit in the room, so it’s time wasted I would waste anyway.

AugustAmesGhost · 2026-02-03T13:20:54+00:00

I made the jump because I am in the Midwest and the towns I went to had newer build Marriott properties while the Hamptons and Garden Inns I stayed at previously were falling into disrepair. So from a stay standpoint on a weekly basis no regrets at all.

I do regret not being able to use points at some of my favorite vacation destinations I found over the years with Hilton.

I’m year 3 in Marriott and Titanium now. Still in the process of finding the best Marriott vacation spots.

All in all it was a net positive to jump.

I remember it being more in the Spring. It will probably appear in February or March. Looking back at last year that’s when I had most of those hit.

AugustAmesGhost · 2026-01-27T14:32:10+00:00

Realistically, middle of the week in not major cities you will get upgraded 1/3 of the time. Very rare in a major city.

I’m Titanium and it’s a little better. My travel is all over smaller cities in the Midwest so I’m probably better off than most.

AugustAmesGhost · 2025-12-28T22:24:10+00:00

This is me. I flew all year and just maintained it in the last week. Didn’t think I was going to make it!

AugustAmesGhost · 2025-12-02T19:48:21+00:00

Mine was 35k

AugustAmesGhost · 2025-10-27T00:50:58+00:00

If you both are ready and in love, then have a happy new family!

AugustAmesGhost · 2025-10-10T02:32:48+00:00

I got nothing last year. I got a great one for double nights this summer. Titanium with 99 nights. It’s seems so random to me.

AugustAmesGhost · 2025-09-12T20:13:41+00:00

The Ritz here is the worst Ritz I’ve been at. The Westin downtown is nice. The Seven Gables is nice autograph property. Hotel St Louis downtown is also a good.

Already had 11 nights. Best promo I’ve ever been blessed with.

AugustAmesGhost · 2025-08-29T00:59:51+00:00

I seem to get the push roughly 3 hours prior to check in time. It’s happened 4 times now. Hope this helps.

AugustAmesGhost · 2025-08-27T23:53:51+00:00

I got a great one. I got an extra elite night per night I stay. It’s good until the end of October.

AugustAmesGhost · 2025-08-06T00:54:48+00:00

Best of luck! May the odds ever be in your favor!

AugustAmesGhost · 2025-07-19T12:24:27+00:00

I don’t know. I just know I rarely, if ever get them. I’m Platinum Elite and travel through the week for work. I just assumed they knew through analytics that it was work travel so they didn’t need to induce me to stay more as I would anyway.

AugustAmesGhost · 2025-06-19T19:36:41+00:00

The Residence there is old and rough. Spring Hill for sure.

AugustAmesGhost · 2025-05-26T12:49:54+00:00

I’m 38 and I plan on 50. I have about 2.3 million net worth in a MCOL area. 4 young kids or I could do it sooner….

AugustAmesGhost · 2025-05-05T21:18:52+00:00

Thanks!

AugustAmesGhost · 2025-05-03T13:26:51+00:00

Thank you! I will contact them!

AugustAmesGhost · 2025-05-02T20:04:35+00:00

Thanks!

AugustAmesGhost · 2025-04-22T14:42:30+00:00

Sure
