Am on track to renew SPG Platinum status by mid-April. Should I keep staying with SPG through the rest of the year or focus on getting status at say Hyatt or Hilton?

You get more points per stay if you stick with spg...what the pint of building up status if you don’t use it

P1- I agree. No point in trying to tally up as many hotel brands, I’d rather tally up points with the multiplier I get from being platinum

Stick with SPG until and unless we find out Marriott is butchering the program. Then think about hedging your bets

Pretty sure the answer is self explanatory but first year with real status. Does Marriott status reset Jan 1? For instance if I need 10 nights for Platnium am I SOL if I stay 9 nights by Dec 31?
