How do you decide on which airline and hotel brands to ensure optimal benefits/perks? Currently use American Airlines since they are big in Philadelphia; and prefer Marriott hotels. But there aren’t any cross over benefits as AA does with Hyatt.

I do it the way you do it. Whatever is most convenient for work, the benefits are just incidental.

For example, I consider Hyatt the best hotel brand based on quality but they are way too small for my purposes (only useful if you travel to major destinations). I fly delta cause there are more flight options than any other airline.

Also based in Philly and use AA due to number of flights. Wanted to get CLEAR but since PHL doesn’t have it sticking with tsa-precheck

How many points? Caribbean Marriott Cat 3 property, 5 nights. They have an issue with the boiler so no hot water and shower stops in between. Ice cold showers for 4 days in a row 🥶. Hotel phones don’t work because network is down and only local channels work on tv. Last night they had a huge leak in the lobby. They kept knocking stuff all night to fix it and then left a large floor fan running. I understand it’s tough reopening so don’t want to push, plus they upgraded our room at check in.
