Hilton is the worst. Marriott or Starwood

Marriott ftw. Better hotels overall

like

Marriott. Get the Chase Marriott Rewards VISA by Chase and you’ll earn points even faster (not to mention silver status off the whip)

Marriott. You earn points and rewards faster.

Marriott spg is the way to go

like

Amex SPG card is better than the Marriott Visa card by chase. With the Marriott card, you earn 5 Marriott points for every dollar you spend at a Marriott property. But if you use the SPG card, you earn 2 SPG points for every 1 dollar. The SPG to Marriott transfer ratio is 1:3.

like

EY1: yes you do earn 1 extra point per dollar spent but the Marriott card gives you a free 25,000 point hotel stay every year... so unless you are spending $25,000 in hotel stays a year, you come up ahead.

Why Marriott? Hearing pros and cons for both and just wanna stick to one to get all the benefits

With other firms do you get to use your own cards (Amex SPG and Chase Marriott) or you have to use the firm-issued corporate credit card for hotel bookings, etc?

Ey makes you book with the corporate Amex. No rewards points

But you can still sign up for the hotel loyalty program

You can tell the receptionist that you want to use another card

You can book to other cards if you change your AmEx profile.

One key perk to consider is the Marriott United partnership. Platinums at Marriott get silver status on United. You can call Marriott rewards and ask for a challenge to get status faster.
