2023.03.26 14:57 TheBestCECEmployee PSA Marriott is not a loving wife [Written by an Case Resolution Specialist at Bonvoy] [Bonvoy Rewards]
Hello everyone!
I am writing this post because I, during my time at Marriott Bonvoy, have heard the phrase ''I wish I had known this sooner'' way too many times. I have gone through many emails and spoke to a plethora of guests over the phone over the years and I, through this post, wish to share the best tips I have as well as give information on what is possible and what is not possible when requesting exceptions to be made. Just FYI; I have gone through sales, account management, supervisor, ambassador service and finally case resolution. The sales -> account management -> supervisor is standard flow. The Ambassador Service and Case Resolution teams are later stages.
First and foremost. Marriott Bonvoy is not a loving wife. You can love it but it will not love you back. Bonvoy is a system and you need to use it.
1.) Let's start with what riles everyone up and that is status.
Marriott has a strict policy that a status must be earned. Exceptions are EXTREMELY rare. I would say approximately 0.1% of the status exceptions get approved. I have seen a single exception be made and that was for a customer who had 8 years of Platinum and Titanium and was, due to illness, unable to reach Platinum that year. It was late December and he had 49 Elite Nights. An exception was made for him that one time. Same rule wouldn't apply for higher tiers and this was only because he would probably have retained it if he had registered for the Platinum Elite Challenge. For Titanium and Ambassador no exceptions will ever be given.
That brings me to the next point. Use the Platinum Elite Challenge to your advantage. You can register once in a calendar year. If you are aiming for the Lifetime level and are already close to the required amount of Nights, you can just fill in the years with the Challenge. Please do note that retroactive registration is impossible. You have to register prior and there is no exception. Once you register, no changes to the dates will be offered, no exceptions whatsoever that I have seen and that's the policy.
We do not offer status match with other programs. If you wish to avail of our bonuses, you have to stay at our properties. Marriott Bonvoy has the most hotels in the world and we don't care about your status at other programs. There was one exception to this and that was the pandemic time. During the pandemic we did offer it. It was the decision of corporate to try and steal customers from other brands. Use the Platinum Challenge if you really wish to have a status.
2.) Points expiration
Agents are able to give exceptions both via email and via phone if you encountered issues and were under circumstances that have prevented you from travelling. The circumstances eligible for exceptions are military service, long term illness and delay when purchasing Points. The agents will not proactively name these but if you do, they will offer a small extension.
You can always purchase 1000 Points online for 12.5 USD to extend the validity of your Points. Alternatives are to go and buy a coffee at the hotel and send us the hotel bill but that's more of a bother than just buying the Points.
Considering this data is considered protected by data protection regulations, we will not save nor relay the information to anyone. You can decide to share the details of your illness but the agents are not allowed to save it.
Only one exception is given per account.
3.) SNA availability / expiry / reinstatement
The Suite Night Awards do not entitle you to every suite. The categories at Bonvoy are Standard Room, Premium Room, Standard Suite and Premium Suite. You can only use them for Premium Rooms and Standard Suites. Higher category Suites are not offered using the Suite Night Awards. No exceptions. That is the contract given to hotels.
Only hotels that have rooms and suites offer the use of Suite Night Awards. Resorts rarely offer the use of Suite Night Awards. If you wish to stay at a resort, book your stay and if they are offered, you will see the pop up to use SNA. If it doesn't, it is safe to assume that they simply do not accept them. Alternatively and especially if all rates are prepaid, call the service hotline and we have a list that we can use to check if the property participates.
No exceptions will be given to expiry of the Suite Night Awards. NONE. If you have cancelled your booking that had SNA approved later than 2 PM 1 day prior to arrival and have lost them. Nothing can be done. It is simply the policy and we have to follow it. We do not have the option to reinstate them.
For best results; if you have sufficient SNAs and the trip is an important trip for you.. book two different properties and submit requests to both of them. Wait for approval. If both get approved, simply cancel the one you like less or cancel the one that didn't get approved.
4.) Special status requests for credit cards
We can not adjust your status if you have a credit card. The request needs to come from the card issuer. Call the number on the back of the card to request it. The requests will be approved and your status updated within 10-15 business days. There is no bypass to this. The request has to follow a single straight line. We can not contact the card issuer on your behalf.
Basically:
Customer -> Card Issuer -> Bonvoy -> Status Upgrade Approval
But doesn't work like this:
Customer -> Bonvoy -> Card Issuer -> Bonvoy -> Status Upgrade Approval
5.) Compensation and resolution of on-property issues
If you are still on property, the main point of contact should be the front desk for any facility issues. You should report immediately as the hotel staff might be able to resolve them and improve your stay quality. If you call the CEC, most agents will then call the front desk on your behalf but in general it is the hotel solving those. We can not influence them much.
For members that are entitled to arrival gifts, if the hotel staff doesn't offer it you have to take it up with them. There is a compensation for this but you need to demand this while on property and discuss it with the front desk manager. Please do bear in mind that that compensation can not be given out once you have left the property. It is simply the rule and we can not bypass it.
If it is benefits and policy related, most hotels will know what you are entitled to and you can always use the benefits sheet if they are being stubborn. If, after that, they still are denying you access to what you are entitled to by the program, we will step in. You can call or send an email. Calls are better for a timely resolution whereas for bigger issues I'd say you write an email and have the response in writing.
Staff related issues should be reported to us... as we are above property supervision.
6.) Third party bookings
I see a lot of escalations for benefits with third party bookings. We can not do anything in regards with those. You will get jack s***. We do not care about who booked it for you, you get nothing. I had an Ambassador who arrived at a property and expected the benefits. It was his company that booked it for him through a third party website and he got nothing. You can forget about it. The property will MAYBE be lenient or oversee the fact but you can, in general, forget about your on property benefits, Points and Elite Nights. Marriott is open to establishing discounted rates for companies if they wish to book through us. They will get either a code for website bookings, employees can call and book it and some companies will get a system to book through.
Some agents will, if you request credit for such a stay, add good will gestures to your account in form of a little bit of Points but no nights. Such exceptions are mostly given to new members to incentivize them to book directly but no such thing will happen for higher tiered guests who know the policy. These Points will only be given once.
7.) Missing stays
Missing stays can and should only be requested once the 14 days timeframe has passed. We count the stay as missing then. This is as per the policy and hotels have to pay a small fee each time we credit a stay. If we do it ahead of time we are harming the hotels. The website will also not allow you to submit it if the timeframe has not yet passed (sometimes buggy and allows it). Sending them via email directly will get you in most cases the ''wait for the timeframe to pass'' template. We can make an exception if you have a stay that you wish to book immediately and need the Points to complete the stay. You should call but do be ready to book it with the sales associate.
Titaniums are the biggest violators of these and usually are really crybabies when it comes to this policy. I often see 5 requests being sent immediately after they leave the hotel. Stop. Please.
Design Hotel properties have to add the stays manually themselves as per their contract. We can not add it. We will simply forward your request to the on-property team. You will usually get them faster if you contact the hotel directly.
8.) Best Price Guarantee
Absolutely has to be done through the website. We can not adjust prices over the phone. There is a dedicated team arranging the prices and approving the guarantee requests.
Please do bear in mind that the rate has to have the same conditions as our flexible rate. Prepaid rates do not count. The reasoning behind this is that a reseller might buy the rooms out in advance and offer them at a later date with a price slightly lower than ours. That doesn't mean that their price is better. They are just trying to sell what they already paid for. Bundled travel rates do not count. Special discounted rates offered by some third party loyalty programs do not count (reasoning is that they are actually paying for the price difference or are taking no profit whatsoever).
9.) Requesting compensation will often net you 0 Points
When you are sending a complaint, be descriptive and state your issues. Do so in a non demanding way and be honest. The agents that are entitled to give compensation will then offer it proactively as part of our First Contact Resolution procedure. We will report to the property to improve then.
Demanding will make us investigate more.
Please also do not abuse this system as it will get you banned. I have banned more than a couple of accounts for this matter. The bans are indefinite and non reversible if given out by the case resolution specialists.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. I am open to adding noteworthy ones to the main thread.

Da fuq dis dude on about now?
Idk but I like this fud flair, and we have some vision impairment to deal with.
I come with a question for those with more knowledge of the tools and tricks of the trade than I
As we are all aware by now, BBBY has reported an adjusted outstanding share count. Reasons of the adjustment don't matter for this post.
With this update, institutions are now under the 5% threshold for reporting. Blackrock was reduced from 14% to 3.5ish (who needs precision anyway?)
What tools can be used to help track their movements?

2023.03.26 14:56 pyatii PS subscription?
After stalking on this sub for a month, I finally managed to get a ps5. I was gaming a decade back and kinda missed out on it entirely after that. I can spend 5-10 hours in a week to play games. Read little on ps subscription and got a gist of it, but I still feel theres more to it. So I'm here to understand which plan works best and how to make most of it. (Also am I better off buying pre-owned games and selling them back?)
Would appreciate if you could explain more than what the website says or paste links which would help me decide. TIA.

2023.03.26 14:55 acvcani Future move and tank cycling advice
I’m planning on moving in may any advice on how to cycle my tank and how to keep care of my betta before it’s ready? Currently I have a 10 gallon tank and once I move I want to upgrade to one of those fancy ones that have an entire cabinet under them.
I would be able to take a bunch of water from the old tank with me, but I guess what I’m asking is what’s the best kind of container for transferring tank water for that?
I’m moving an hour away from where I live now so nothing like some long cross country move. Any advice or tips would be much appreciated.

2023.03.26 14:54 Rachelx127 How do I speak to my friend about her parenting style? And if I should at all?
I’ve known my best friend for over 15 years. She now has a 4 and 5 yr old. I love seeing my friend but I can only see her kids in small doses. They are out of control. They run the house. They are getting older and in preschool so they behave better and better as time goes.
But my friend still lets them have bottles! I slept on the couch last week and woke up to my friend getting her 4 yr old a bottle in the middle of the night. I’ve learned that giving them milk in a bottle can rot their teeth. 4 yr old is still in diapers too. Do I intervene here?
She lets the 4 yr old sleep on her bed every night while her husband sleeps on bunk beds in a room with the 5 yr old.
The older one did not speak for a very long time and I think will have some trouble in school. They are planning on sending their kids to an alternative school where there is no structure.
I am worried they are making mistakes at the expense of the kids. I don’t want to say anything because I know it’s rude to comment on her parenting style. I don’t want to cause a riff in our friendship but it also deters me from spending more time with them.

2023.03.26 14:53 yeezymacheet First full-time motion design role, feeling a bit overwhelmed.
So I got a full-time job as a motion designer at an agency which I'm very happy about, but it feels a bit overwhelming at times and wanted to know if anyone else has had similar feelings in their first role.
So first off I thought there'd be other motion designers, but I'm the only one at this ~40 agency. So even though I'm like mid level at best, I feel as though they see me a senior motion designer and expect high quality stuff (which I will try my best to provide of course).
I find it hard to be creative and work for 8 hours a day. I have like 4-5 hours of solid productivity in me, but I have to bill EVERY hour of my day to someone, I feel weird doing so even if I'm not being super productive during that time. How do you all agencies do that?
Also there's no lunch break (the job is remote) so I don't really get any time to decompress unless I want to work later than 5 to make up for the time I was taking a lunch.
When I first got hired they put me on this one long animation, and from all the storyboarding and animation I constantly worry that I'm going to hit a snag and it won't look good and I won't know how to fix it or make it better.
I also worry that I won't be able to finish the animation is the budgeted hours for the project. I'm trying to make it look as dope as I can but I just get so brain fried towards the end of the day, and then that just rolls over to the next day and I'm just feeling less productive as the week progresses
Just really wish there were other motion designers to learn from/work with. I don't feel ready in my career to be taking on this much as once.
Thanks for listening to my rant lol, would like to hear stories from other people in their first roles and maybe how they overcame similar struggles.

2023.03.26 14:53 born_to_be_naked DE shaving journey from Jan to March so far
Setup includes:
The other day i tried using Gillette mach3 just to see how different it felt and i think I've forgotten how to use it, lol. Couldn't go beyond few strokes.
Good thing with DE is getting clean shaves like i haven't got before. It makes me want to shave. So far my favourite blade is peramsharp green ones out of all 4. I still have Wilkinson and Winner blades left to be tried.
After number of tries I've understood one thing, no matter what i do i always have extra strands of tough hair that don't cut. Even after 3 passes i had to not apply the cream and use my 2 fingers to stretch the skin from ear to cheek slowly and keep stroking the spot being uncovered to get those little hairs that refuse to be cut. Because of this, i have stopped applying shaving cream for ATG. And simply start stretching and complete the shave. Otherwise i ended up with 4-5-6 passes. Without doing this there's always some strands left.
II don't know how YouTube videos and most people get clean BBS shaves, I'm unable to. But this change has helped me. And now it's clean throughout and even.
I think i got hold of the technique fairly good, as i was able to keep a French beard, goatee, only moustache using DE razor. Till last week i used feathers and didn't get any nicks or cuts either.
But yesterday I tried Gillette Super Platinum (black) and my god i received so many cuts nicks, red areas. Under the lip cut didn't stop bleeding for several mins and i had to put a mountain of turmeric powder on top and lie down to make it stop. Lesson learnt - you can never relax when try a new blade. But it surprised me as i went without nicks and cuts using Feathers which I've read are supposed to be sharpest and they do feel so too.
One trouble area is neck, i have to have last pass on it without cream too but still very few strands get left out sometimes, i guess that's part of it because of the sloping curve and inability to pull much skin?
Oh the blade samples i bought was using the contact details of someone who sells at reddit sub. So big thanks to /Wicked_edge and /Wetshavers_India for being my internet parents for teaching me how to shave, where to buy, to try different blades and so on.
When i first started shaving in Jan it too me about 40 mins in total to complete the shaving cleaning etc. Now I am able to complete within 20 mins.

- Cream: Old Spice
- Brush: Gillette synthetic white
- Razor: SSH-01 Pearl Closed Comb
- Blades tried: The Gentleman, Gillette peramsharp (green), Feathers, Gillette super Platinum (black)
- After-shave: Alum fitkari, Nivea Sensitive Balm
The other day i tried using Gillette mach3 just to see how different it felt and i think I've forgotten how to use it, lol. Couldn't go beyond few strokes.
Good thing with DE is getting clean shaves like i haven't got before. It makes me want to shave. So far my favourite blade is peramsharp green ones out of all 4. I still have Wilkinson and Winner blades left to be tried.
After number of tries I've understood one thing, no matter what i do i always have extra strands of tough hair that don't cut. Even after 3 passes i had to not apply the cream and use my 2 fingers to stretch the skin from ear to cheek slowly and keep stroking the spot being uncovered to get those little hairs that refuse to be cut. Because of this, i have stopped applying shaving cream for ATG. And simply start stretching and complete the shave. Otherwise i ended up with 4-5-6 passes. Without doing this there's always some strands left.
II don't know how YouTube videos and most people get clean BBS shaves, I'm unable to. But this change has helped me. And now it's clean throughout and even.
I think i got hold of the technique fairly good, as i was able to keep a French beard, goatee, only moustache using DE razor. Till last week i used feathers and didn't get any nicks or cuts either.
But yesterday I tried Gillette Super Platinum (black) and my god i received so many cuts nicks, red areas. Under the lip cut didn't stop bleeding for several mins and i had to put a mountain of turmeric powder on top and lie down to make it stop. Lesson learnt - you can never relax when try a new blade. But it surprised me as i went without nicks and cuts using Feathers which I've read are supposed to be sharpest and they do feel so too.
One trouble area is neck, i have to have last pass on it without cream too but still very few strands get left out sometimes, i guess that's part of it because of the sloping curve and inability to pull much skin?
Oh the blade samples i bought was using the contact details of someone who sells at reddit sub. So big thanks to /Wicked_edge and /Wetshavers_India for being my internet parents for teaching me how to shave, where to buy, to try different blades and so on.
When i first started shaving in Jan it too me about 40 mins in total to complete the shaving cleaning etc. Now I am able to complete within 20 mins.

2023.03.26 14:52 huqabusi Shedding ~15 per day on min + fin topical. Advice on PRP.
Hi TE family, my hair shedding started last year in June (~20 per day). I applied topical minoxidil for 3 months and stopped to check if my shedding would increase and it did.
I have been applying 2ml of 5% min and 0.1% fin everyday for last 2 months. Shedding has reduced from 30-50 strands per day to around 15, sometimes even less.
I am shedding diffusely and there is no noticeable change in my density. My hair line is intact, in fact I am growing hair on forehead under my hair line.
I will be going for first PRP session soon. Should I delay the session and see if my condition improves on topical solution alone?
Also, I don’t have a dd b/w CTE and AGA. Thinking of getting scalp biopsy done to be sure. Advice?
TIA.

2023.03.26 14:52 00whereismymind00 Pimi mother called me
Good morning y’all, so yesterday my mother called me, to check in on me because I’ve been sick which is kind of her. Her call turned into a 4.5 hour long phone call.. at some point during the call, she was starting to preach and tell me we’re in the last days… she was telling me to go onto the jw website and look up some book. I honestly don’t even remember the book- but I got the chance to politely and calmly tell her I don’t believe in that, and that her and my dad traumatized me with that religion. She sounded actually surprised, and wanted to know what traumatized me, I gave her an example of how my father treated us if we ever needed to miss a meeting, he would be so passive aggressive and rude, he wouldn’t talk to you for the rest of the night, making me feel like my illness was in my head and I’m a liar. She was like “well he does that to me too” eyeroll..
Then I brought up purity culture, and how I can’t even look at myself naked in the mirror without feeling some type of hate and disgust. Her response was “well you’re not supposed to have sex before marriage because of xyz”… completely MISSING my point.
Then I was like bringing up how forcing me to spend 5 days out of my week doing jw crap sucked. Sunday meeting, Tuesday meeting, Thursday book study, then Saturday and Sunday out in service. PLUS going to school on top of that. That was too much. I said “if you had maybe let me learn the way I needed to learn, instead of forcing me to and not giving me a chance… maybe the outcome would’ve been different” she kind of agreed. But not really..
Then, (I guess this is what I have a question about? ) I brought up the blood doctrine, and I said blood transfusions weren’t a thing around Bible times, the scripture is about not eating blood, why do you flip it and refuse blood transfusions. She told me I was wrong and they don’t refuse blood.. I was like y’all literally carry a card??? Then she said “just go look up the doctors who speak against blood transfusions, and how a bloodless surgery is the best one.” But wouldn’t provide any doctors names… i don’t know if I’m misunderstanding the blood thing?
I then told her that there’s 8-9 million baptized people, and there’s 8 billion people in population right now, with countries banning the religion, how are you going to preach the good news to everyone?? When jws barely make up 1% of the population? She flipped it to the Germany shooting. Couldn’t answer..
I told her that people kill themselves after being disfellowshipped and I think that’s horrible to do to your loved ones bc they made a simple mistake. She replied “the brothers don’t hunt you down with torches and pitchforks like on shrek,. I had to beg to be disfellowshipped.” I was like yea, no that doesn’t sit right with me. She then justified the suicides by saying they asked for it, or knew what they were signing up for.
I brought up a few topics just off the top of my head.. I even asked a very specific question she REFUSED to answer. I said “okay, what if I was a lesbian and married to a woman. And I decided I wanted to study and become a jw. Would I be allowed to get baptized if I was already married to a woman?” She was like “anyone can study the Bible” and I said “okay so now you can be a jw and be in a homosexual relationship/marriage “ she was like “you can be gay and study the Bible” NOT WHAT I ASKED. we went back and forth on that and I gave up because she was being stubborn on giving me a yes or no..
The conversation ended on a positive note, she told me I have a good heart and I’m a good person no matter what I believe.
Are there any better topics I should keep in mind outside of the points I brought up. She knows I’ve watched some documentaries about jws but she believed there’s only 3 docs in the whole world made about jws. (I did bring up the ARC and Candice conti) she excused that too..
