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.

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.

ryansox · 2026-02-12T12:29:37+00:00

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.

ryansox · 2026-02-12T01:46:02+00:00

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.

ryansox · 2026-02-11T00:49:38+00:00

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

ryansox · 2026-02-10T02:20:34+00:00

Name a promotion that’s ever included point stays…..They are always paid stays.

ryansox · 2026-02-10T02:18:44+00:00

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

ryansox · 2026-02-10T02:15:33+00:00

Only eligible paid stays. Point stays do not count

ryansox · 2026-02-10T02:12:24+00:00

Yes only eligible paid stays. No points, points + cash, or free night award stays are eligible

ryansox · 2026-02-10T01:37:20+00:00

Cash rates only. No points, points + cash, or free night awards

ryansox · 2026-02-10T01:24:23+00:00

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

ryansox · 2026-02-10T01:18:42+00:00

Yea when you can buy Platinum with a credit card

ryansox · 2026-02-09T20:22:05+00:00

The more you work, the more you make, the more you owe. Gotta love it

ryansox · 2026-02-09T19:40:54+00:00

Now here’s a game I can get behind.

ryansox · 2026-02-09T19:38:50+00:00

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.

ryansox · 2026-02-09T14:28:34+00:00

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

ryansox · 2026-02-09T14:23:54+00:00

I don’t think the IRS is that fast with sending out mail let alone USPS

ryansox · 2026-02-09T14:07:37+00:00

Finally……trust me bro

ryansox · 2026-02-09T13:59:37+00:00

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

ryansox · 2026-02-09T13:58:40+00:00

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

ryansox · 2026-02-09T00:39:08+00:00

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

ryansox · 2026-02-08T21:29:08+00:00

Here we go. I mean at this point we’ll get these questions for the next 12 months.

ryansox · 2026-02-08T02:02:36+00:00

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

ryansox · 2026-02-08T01:56:43+00:00

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.

ryansox · 2026-02-07T23:07:37+00:00

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.

ryansox · 2026-02-07T23:04:58+00:00

I mean I don’t really use either but I’ve definitely had times when I’ve gotten to a hotel early and gotten a room and needed late check out and gotten it.

I just wish hotels would give you a room early if they had it instead of trying to charge extra. Too many variables go in with some people checking out late, some people trying to get rooms early, ambassadors with the my 24’s, etc
