I’m a Lifetime Platinum Marriott - is there any incentive to staying in Marriott properties compared to building status at Hyatt on alternates? TIA!

Not anymore since LT Titanium isn’t possible

You’re in the best position now as you can just choose whichever brand fits your needs best versus staying at a local Westin just to hit night/spend requirements

Was in a similar boat and tried Hyatt. While I enjoy some of the properties, there’s just not enough full service hotels around (and Hyatt Regency’s are like crappy Sheratons). I enjoyed the consistent free breakfast, waived resort/destination fees, set points award chart and similar upgrades that I was used to as a Marriott Ambassador/Titanium. All that just wasn’t enough to make up for a limited footprint.

Definitely would build status in Hyatt. For those exclusive properties and avoiding resort fees. Footprint wise Marriott and Hilton are the same. So wouldn’t bother with Hilton.

Since I hit LT Titanium, I have focused on Hyatt. I've also noticed that once I hit lifetime, I rarely receive any targeted promotions for bonus points.

I'm lifetime platinum with Marriott so I always stay at Marriotts to enjoy the perks of my status.

I have 32k miles with THY that are about to expire. Normally I'd go ahead and book a flight, but I can't project which countries might be locked down again 5-6 months from now (haven't accrued enough PTO to travel in near future). The only other way to keep the miles is to pay $10 per 1000 miles, as far as I know. Are there other strategies?
