I’m considering changing travel loyalty this year. Should I go Delta + Marriott (or) Delta + Hilton?

I live close to the LGA (NYC) airport and mostly travel domestically, with the occasional international travel. I used to live in NJ, and did United + Marriott, but now live closer to LGA and have decided to switch to Delta.

I also have the Amex Plat credit card if that matters.

Plat is useful but won’t be an end-all be-all at LGA since delta doesn’t fly out of the same terminal as the centurion lounge

Sure but 10 visits a year without notable status doesn’t unlock a ton of value tbh.

I’d go American (with flights credited to Alaska) and Hyatt. Gets you amex lounge access + more valuable reward currency.

If you’re doing 60 nights in a hotel, Hyatt

Hyatt is the best hotel option, assuming the smaller footprint works for you.

Hyatt?
