I'm sure this has been asked a billion times, but what hotel group is everyone loyal to? We're SPG, but is their point system really the best?

Fairmont. After you hit 30 nights, every 10 nights you get a free night. I like to use them at the Plaza in Nyc or the Savoy in London.

I get 3000 SPG points every week and that's a free night in the right category ✌️

I get a free SPG night every 7 nights or so. But I have 4x points for 75 nights

I think SPG is best for free nights. I like Marriott myself, I stay mostly 90% in full service (Marriott, JW, Renaissance) and think they have the best club lounges and room amenities. 80-90% success with room upgrades to suites or better with platinum.

Dogs system is best, because of the concierge, but I keep the money local, so Marriott is platinum, spg & Hilton gold

Free night..which category? Fairmont free nights would be the same as 35k spg points.

Lyft driver delayed picking me up 30 min, resulting in me canceling my ride and asking hotel to call me a “yellow taxi” to get to the airport because it was 5am and all ubers/lyfts were 15 min. Specifically said yellow. Hotel calls me a private lux SUV and the driver got out of the car to handshake the man who called and said hi (honestly money couldve been passed). I then get hit with a $180 ride. Marriott website says taxi should be $65. Should I complain or let it go?
