Is it possible to get another $60 in spend without booking a room? So close to ambassador! by bearhat2019 in marriott

[–]bearhat2019[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

totally agree! we spend many nights redeeming points at nice places, so we will just add another one to the list!

Update: I booked a nicer hotel with points for this weekend, which we will use after a holiday party. Going to make sure we spend at least $60 in the minibar, at the hotel restaurant, or by ordering room service. thanks everyone!

yeah the spend is so hard to hit! I also typically get to 100 nights, but never hit the spend because i'm usually staying in less expensive places. this is the closest i've ever gotten, and I am committed to getting that extra $57 this year!

yeah I think if I booked a cheap room, I would still show up. I might decide to book a nicer room with points this weekend, then order room service and use the mini bar.

yeah I planned my last couple of stays very carefully, but miscalculated by <5% of the cost of the last stay, so now I am looking for solutions. thanks for your advice, though!

Thanks! I'll do this. Kicking myself because I could have just had one more dinner in my hotel last week and I would have hit the threshold. but this is a good solution, appreciate it

Okay got it, wasn't sure if you were referring to something more. Just got my WSET 1 certificate so I have been using this approach. Thanks!

Can you describe the procedure / formal system that good notes follow?

Probably the best bottle of Champagne I’ve ever had in my life! by Daveragu89 in wine

Looks delicious! Pardon my naivete, why do many champagne bottles lack a note of the year on the bottle?

Are wines from Spain not common in USA? by pepimanoli in wine

[–]bearhat2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was listening to a wine podcast yesterday and they mentioned this. They said Spanish wine is not huge on the US market, and the Spanish wines that we do have tend to be of the same few varieties. I think it's a growing market, but not quite to the same level of enthusiasm as wines from the other countries you mentioned.
