Do you prefer Starwood or Marriott and why? I have roughly half points in both but thinking of focusing on one now.

Starwood offers a better guest experience with way better properties and better customer service. Marriott doesn't offer decent fitness facilities which is a big problem when you’re on the road a lot.

It comes down to whether you want to stay almost anywhere for pretty cheap (Marriott has a lot of category 1 Fairfield Inns & Springhill Suites) or you want to splurge on unique stays (Starwood).

I'll add whatever you do, don't even think about Hilton. It has less bang for the buck (currency being nights stayed).

Are you traveling a lot for your role? Marriott's program rewards travelers with a greater amount of stays. Their best programs start at 50 nights/year. Starwood's mid-tier starts at 16 nights/year.

Do you continue to see in-flight interview processes through once you’ve received and accepted an offer? It feels premature to cut the chord on the others, but also the decision between the companies becomes harder.
