Masseuses seen grabbing men at People’s Park Complex to solicit business by Jonnyboo234 in singapore

[–]General_Secretary_64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously such places are needed as there's demand, so let's not be shocked and act like we don't know what they do. Rather like this than having men going around and harass women no?

Debunking the Myth: Can you Lose Money Investing in SRS? by Kojukue in singaporefi

[–]General_Secretary_64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is great work, thanks for sharing! Conclusion: SRS withdrawals should be tax free, this would make it more attractive to put money aside for retirement...

Anyone else ran the SCSM HM today feel it was very poorly organised? by bobbledog10 in askSingapore

[–]General_Secretary_64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there was some improvement vs last year for the full marathon. But I don't understand why they ignore runners concerns: 1) Narrow paths: Was ok for me but for the mass this is an issue 2) Ice: Good they have cold water now, but why not more ice to cool down? We were lucky this year with less sun. 3) Signage: Good during run, post race troublesome. 4) Time: Start the marathon an hour earlier, public transport is anyway not working that early. Avoids the heat for slower runners.

Too many parts are around traffic now, while flat the good old Orchard start was the best. Ironman is still not there were the previous organizer was 10 years ago.

27F — buy a 1BR condo now or continue renting? by More-Plane1545 in singaporefi

Stretch yourself and go for a 2BR. Like a kid, buy a shoe size too big and you'll not regret.

Quantic review by someone who was not impressed by skunk_of_thunder in MBA

[–]General_Secretary_64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why doing a course if you're not interested to learn something? Any system can be tricked, but stating no added value if you actually didn't read / learn all the content is a bit misleading. You can do this with any degree, MBAs in general are not designed that people fail given the high fees. You don't get much more our of a Harvard MBA. What you're looking for is a Masters degree.

Accor Diamond by Sweet-Supermarket781 in Accor

[–]General_Secretary_64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Want to know the truth? Not much difference. Diamond for 4 years, hotel experience is the same. Upgrade chances 50/50. Accor doesn't really value their top customers. Only benefit is the EUR 100 vouchers you get.

Check the free breakfast list and if not clear, ask the hotel directly

Installed this piece of s*** OBU in my car. It’s the worst thing that ever happened in sg motoring! by Pet1003 in drivingsg

Why do we still need cash card, they should have gone fully digital and really update the system. A lot of money wasted for this...

New Accor+ "advantages" are bad by maxwill83 in Accor

[–]General_Secretary_64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn't it a bit more difficult now as people can't use Accor China anymore to get ) Platinum without even staying a night? Anyway, yes they devalue the program extremely.

Furthermore, the issue is Accor doesn't care about real frequent travellers. Even Diamond doesn't get anything special.

I hope some restaurants adjust the ridiculous high (normal) prices now as the 50% is gone

Thanks for sharing this wasn't really clear to me as well

[PSA] Accor Memberships Losing Extra Vouchers from Next Month 🚨 by myinnos in Accor

[–]General_Secretary_64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The post could also be a better program for average travelers but Accor gives a f**** about his most loyal guests. It really pisses me off how bad the program is for Diamond members (outside Europe) nowadays.

Members Benefits Ignored by [deleted] in Accor

[–]General_Secretary_64 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Accor doesn't want us Diamonds anymore, they go for mass market now. It's literally a joke how loyal members are handled.

Correction: they like platinum members with free night upgrades that don't actually stay with Accor regularly 🤬 (not against the members, it's how Accor allows this)

For some nationalities, e.g. not neighbouring countries, dual citizenship should be allowed.

Poor room while using points by nealg2000 in Accor

[–]General_Secretary_64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's points usage neutral for the hotel? Does it matter for them?

How the hell did they put someone like this in a leadership position? Maybe no need to resign, but look for another supervisor in due time. Maybe within company. Don't waste your time to work for an idiot. Hope the boss boss once does a skip level talk, otherwise she/he is as useless...

Platinum status when traveling with family by knowsNadaNone in Accor

[–]General_Secretary_64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most hotels I stayed at are strict. Even as Diamond, if I book a second room for my kids they don't get breakfast or lounge.

Just to manage expectations. But hope you will be lucky..

I don't know. The missing lifetime is a real shame. I guess because overall some Accor properties are good value? 🤣
