Semi unrelated, but figure out how people search and configure their itinerary on mistake fares like the recent one from Cathay

Grab Hilton Gold from a credit card like AMEX Platinum or the Hilton card with no stays required. There’s not much difference between Hilton Gold and Hilton Diamond. And look for Hyatt challenges. There was one for top-Tier Globalist after 20 nights a few months ago.

That Hyatt one is pretty standard - just gotta ask.

United Gold would be fine for me - was on pace for it but then got on a local project for a full quarter.

In the same vein, Platinum Premier at Marriott, unless Hilton makes their points worth something.
