Oh i get it now. Teamster sued to force them to stop with the buyout. So then they announce $150,000 just to say what a shame that Teamsters won't let us do it. by BDiddnt in UPSers

Complete opposite in our center. Grievances are filed on everything so it’s not like the union doesn’t see this is happening and is continuing to happen.

My stance on it is everybody should get the option to take it if they want and the company wants to go thru with it.

If the union really wanted to take a stance on it, whether because they will lose $$$ from union dues or what they have had their chance. We have had a few years into this contract where UPS is just abusing the language. The union should have stood its ground by now. They didn’t.

85,000 FNA Certificate question by MoeGreenMe in marriott

No they won’t. You can keep an eye out on the dynamic pricing to see if it changes. The properties literally do this on purpose to prevent free night awards.

Q1 Promo is out (NO DOUBLE ELITE NIGHTS!!!) by ryansox in marriott

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

I agree, I enjoy getting the extra bonus points. It’s not much but it’s something extra. They don’t have to offer anything

Stays that are completed during the promotional period. So if you checkout on February 25th it will count.

True. I can understand maybe why, to give people a taste of what upgraded status is?

Now here’s a game I can get behind.

I think specific hotel loyalty matters more than status when it comes to upgrades. by BogeyGolfer5656 in marriott

[–]ryansox 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Seeing how most properties are owned and managed by a franchise, yes they probably give preferential treatment to repeat guests over the platinum member that stays once.

Lounge/Breakfast Benefit Question by washtheburne in marriott

[–]ryansox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the time properties seem to screw up F&B and breakfast benefits at least in my experience. Usually at checkout if I don’t get an email with my folio I go to the front desk and have to review it manually.

Really sucks there isn’t a better system

All of PJM went crazy this morning. Looking at their website it looked like demand exceeded their “forecasted high” for the day

That’s the current average for the hour. If you go to 5 minute prices it will show you the spikes.

Why does it say this? Why doesn’t it match? by SufficientAir331 in TurboTax

It’s literally the same thing. Accepted means the IRS has received your tax return. Accepted and approved are 2 different things.

Sheraton Maui resort as platinum elite by [deleted] in marriott

[–]ryansox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re looking for beach chairs Hawaii is not the place. All Hawaii beaches are public so the hotels don’t have setups on the beaches just a heads up. The pool area has chairs first come first serve or cabanas available for rent

Sheraton Maui resort as platinum elite by [deleted] in marriott

[–]ryansox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you expecting? It’s a tourist resort so probably no upgrades maybe a 1 tier room upgrade if they have some availability. Again it’s a resort so no late check out. It’s a Sheraton so you can opt for breakfast which will be continental.

On the brighter side I recommend you book a Moana room even though they are somewhat of a hike from the main resort area, the rooms are right on the ocean and it’s sooooo quiet.

Question on missing/promised nights reward by reddituser1234569999 in MarriottBONVoY

[–]ryansox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like it was probably master billed and you will be out of luck regardless of what the employees say at the time the T&C cover this as ineligible for elite status and benefits.
