At SPG Platinum and won't hit 100 nights. Should I switch to another brand and get status at another company or stay with SPG the rest of the year. I also fly Delta for crossover rewards. Suggestions?

Get 75 nights

At 75 will prob end around 90. Project in NYC. No status at other chains, Platinum on Delta but won't hit Diamond will end with about 115k MQM

I'm lifetime platinum and stopped chasing ambassador status 2 years ago. Just isn't worth it. 75 nights gets you the quad match and everything else.

Maybe diversify with Hyatt or Hilton, but I would just stay at SPG. Earning in NYC is terrific, I never say no to Starpoints

Do Hilton and get Delta MQM double dip until year-end.

What's your night count and expected remaining nights? Status/nights at other chains? Project location?

Just keep with it. Marriott will match. All set. Ambassador service is not amazing, anyway.

EY1 where do you stay after you hit 75 nights?

Up to this year I balanced out Marriott. Trying for Hilton Gold after doing a platinum match.

Stay spg. You get that 4th point now. And your status is matched to Marriott. Having platinum at both Marriott and SPG is all you need.

I go for Hyatt diamond and SPG platinum. Gives more opportunity for redeeming points when traveling.

You get 4 points per dollar after 75 so...
