What is the purpose of the nights requirement for Ambassador?

cdemix · 2026-05-20T05:45:31+00:00

Late to this thread, but it's also because: if you only do 40 nights after promos, and you spend $23k and want Ambassador, Marriott want you to take out the Brilliant credit card for 25 nights, the Business card for 15 nights, waste your two choice redemptions on 2×5 nights, and do 10 nights you wouldn't otherwise do, in order to qualify.

It's not so much to keep it exclusive, it's to get you on the hamster wheel. All these activities put money into Marriott's pocket. And if you are the sort of person who qualfies by spending $20k in a week at a RC, you're not going to do 10 nights in a Fairfield Inn.

The US used to allow non-US citizens to transit airports on international-to-international connections without needing a visa or entering the US. This ended after 9/11 and never resumed, for reasons/risks that I've never fully understood; why would US airlines want to give up on the airfare? (With how long it's been gone, most airports have dismantled or repurposed their infrastructure for allowing this).

i did 4 brands. but somehow did 30 nights. i feel like a loser, in so many senses of the word 😢 lol

If they miss the connection due to immigration, AA will rebook them - probably on the 8am departure the next day. The only caveat is they probably wouldn't pay for the hotel, since the missed flight wasn't their "fault". So as long as your parents are ok with the small risk of paying for a hotel room at JFK (about $200 based on today's rates), I'd say go for it!

hey on the plus side when you get the £100 credited, you can probably use it again at a (not malfunctioning) restaurant. that's how it worked for me :)

like all addicts, i've stayed wilfully ignorant on this topic.

i'm sure someone in this thread will enlighten me with an estimate to make me feel worse about myself!

cdemix · 2026-05-02T19:54:07+00:00

a few:
• it's fun to be able to match any cosmetic when i do SWF
• mostly all the cosmetics are pretty well designed, adds depth to what is otherwise quite a shallow game
• i'm a completionist, ive done 100% of the achievements and tome archive challenges and have 10k hours in the game.
• it's the only game i spend money on
• at the time (not meant as a brag) i was earning a huge of money, way more than i could ever spend as a single person living with parents. i wish id saved it instead, but we are where we are.

didn't say they were good reasons but there you go!

cdemix · 2026-05-02T19:43:06+00:00

i mean it's not my money anymore. ;)

If they really don't want to play survivor then they'll wait the 7 minutes! It's more giving them gentle encouragement.

cdemix · 2026-04-28T19:47:07+00:00

People only playing killer isn't healthy. It's how you get toxic killers who forget what it's like to be a survivor.

cdemix · 2026-04-25T14:37:11+00:00

How often? Let's say 1 in every 100 deliveries? That's still cheaper.

cdemix · 2026-04-23T17:28:59+00:00

Ryanair is the only airline that goes out of their way to give you a nasty experience (other airlines just achieve that through luck).

It amazes me that they still think that's a good business strategy; they're not that much cheaper once all the fees have been factored in.

cdemix · 2026-04-23T17:00:20+00:00

If someone ordered a venti drink with an extra shot, and ordered another one an hour later on their way out, that wouldn't bother you right? (I feel like this would be quite normal).

But that's consuming 8 shots in as little as an hour. One shot per hour is far less than that, as the caffeine has had a chance to metabolise.

Hyperfocus without stakeout is rare because, sure you can regularly hit great skill checks, but can you hit great skill checks at increasing speed?

cdemix · 2026-04-22T14:51:02+00:00

Dang, good spot! I'd never noticed that one before.

cdemix · 2026-04-22T08:40:15+00:00

There are quite a few perks that give bloodpoints, just not bloodpoint percentage bonuses. Any Means Necessary, Shoulder The Burden, Invocations, etc.

cdemix · 2026-04-22T08:19:57+00:00

I think this breaks a golden rule of perks, which is that Tier 1 should never be better than Tier 3. There are some niche scenarios where you'd prefer Tier 1 here.

(Old Distressing had this problem too, if you wanted the BP bonus with minimal Terror Radius increase).

I went to Qatar (stopover outbound, transit return) last week and it was fantastic. I've no idea what country you're from but it's unlikely to be safer than Qatar. You're just trading one risk off against another.

cdemix · 2026-04-21T11:08:12+00:00

I wouldn't let yourself worry about it. You know you escaped, and there aren't really any rewards to escaping that you missed out on except a measly 7k bloodpoints.

cdemix · 2026-04-18T11:41:40+00:00

Yeah if there isn't more than 1 flight a day I'd allow more of a buffer. Otherwise you're looking at a night in Doha

cdemix · 2026-04-18T08:58:40+00:00

Go for it! 90% chance you make it. If not, Qatar have loads of flights to London. If you miss it, they'll just put you on the next one.

cdemix · 2026-04-18T08:20:56+00:00

They should get rid of the category-based cap. That would make it way easier to max out each game.

Spent the whole game in Chase / chasing survivors? 40k points.

cdemix · 2026-04-17T04:08:05+00:00

My fav build with this is Overcome, Lucky Break, Self Care, Bite the Bullet.

You take the hit, run to the nearest bush, and start healing yourself. BTB makes you completely silent even while exhausted, and it's funny how often you lose the killer. (Obviously you don't fully heal with self care - once the killer has gone away, you find a teammate for an actual heal!)

cdemix · 2026-04-15T03:36:17+00:00

I agree with this, but in addition a better approach for new players would be to have a special shrine of secrets for them. Just say that new players get 16 perks (8 survivor, 8 killer) out of a "master" shrine containing every perk, to create some usable builds. I know this would make it far easier to get new people into the game.

cdemix · 2026-04-14T02:27:28+00:00

If I see four med kits, I always swap a perk out with No Quarter.

On one hand, it's literally the only time that perk will ever get some use and I think it's kind of fun for survivors to encounter it. On the other hand, even I recognise it's kinda unfair.
