First time having a traveling project, should I do Marriott/SPG, Hyatt, Hilton? Any advice on hotels, which airlines to choose, credit cards, etc? Thanks everyone in advance 💁

Choose one airline if you can, and stick to it -- you will get status faster. If your home airport is a hub for any of the airlines, go with that one, e.g., American at DFW, United at DEN and EWR. Same with hotels -- pays off to pick one and build up status and points. Marriott/SPG will be one network soon, so that's a great option, with many properties and many brands / price points.
