About to get Diamond status with Hilton. Is it worth sticking with them for lifetime status? Or should I switch to Marriott?

Opinions on which was the best status benefits?

Hilton used to be a pretty weak program, but getting more competitive.

Honestly just stay at whatever chain (or boutique) makes sense where you are currently traveling.

Yeah Hilton has improved a lot! Should’ve stayed but now with Marriott

Hyatt

I was in the same boat a few years back and moved to Marriott after paying through the nose to redeem HHonors points for relatively crappy hotels. But it depends how and where you want to use the points. Overall I'm happy that I changed though the new 10 year rule for lifetime Platinum is a bummer. I liked the old nights / points basis a lot better.

I have lifetime status at Marriott and it doesn’t do diddly squat. State whichever hotel makes you happier.

Once you reach top tier, switch to another chain if you’re traveling a lot and get a second top tier.

I've heard a couple of things about how the partner pension amount @ PwC is determined, both similar in approach.

Both calculations I have heard of result in an annuity paid until death, at which point a surviving spouse (if any) receives the annuity.

The first calculation I have heard is that you get 80% of your highest earning year as a partner (e.g. If your best year was $1M, you'd get $800k as an annuity).

The second calculation I have heard is that they look at your three highest earning years as a partner, and take the second highest and you get 100% of that. (e.g if your three highest earning years were $1M, $800k, and $1.2M, you'd receive $1M as an annuity).

Is ANY of this true, or just all rumor? Any PwC partners that can chime in and explain the pension plan fact for fact? Perhaps with sample numbers?
