Marriott

All of them.... the see where you gravitate. After 13 years of work, I’ve seen top tier at 3or 4 of the big American brands.

Marriott and spg now bonvoy has most properties across the world. If you are a traveler, I recommend bonvoy

I like Hyatt, but they don't have properties in every Tier 3 city like Marriott/Hilton/IHG. Personally, my favorite is still Marriott despite the Bonvoy madness. Lifetime Plat is just a matter of time if you're a regular traveler. I have Gold on Hilton and Spire on IHG as backups.

Hilton

Yeah, sign up for all three and try them out. Did that with Marriott and Hilton though. Have officially stuck with Marriott and am now Titanium elite after six months of bouncing around

From a points perspective, Hyatt points are the easiest to maximize and Hilton the least (because of the dynamic award chart—it’s tied to the cash price vs a fixed redemption rate regardless of cash cost).

Marriott loyalty is probably the most common in consulting.

My boyfriend and I make 200K combined and live in NJ. We have $1000 in monthly car payments combined. That’s all we owe. Our credit scores are in the 800s. We have 50K to put down on a home. We have done the math and I know we can afford much more but he doesn’t want to buy more than a 400K home. I’m almost positive we can afford 500K and be more than ok. But then he starts to talk about how much kids cost and how we will be house poor and we won’t be able to afford kids. 🤔 Am I insane??
