I switched over to Hyatt full time as a LT play 4 years ago. Still use Marriott when the footprint doesn’t have a Hyatt- but only for like 10 of my 100 or so nights.

Marriott has gotten that bad- I’d rather have no status at a Hyatt than play at a typical Marriott

Thanks all, sounds like Hyatt challenge is the move! Wish Marrott treated elites better though then we wouldn’t have lifetime folks asking this question, does feel like a waste of years and nights but it is what it is.

I don’t think Hyatt will match but switch over to Hyatt whenever possible.

Hyatt matches and even accelerated status promotions are extremely rare. However, if you can handle the smaller footprint, earning status is worth it.

Pretty rare for Hyatt to match.

With multiple devals just this year, Hilton points are useless now. You basically have to go all in on multiple Aspire/Surpass cards to stack FNCs. If that's not for you, then I would pass on Hilton.

Hyatt is amazing just for the Chase partnership alone, but footprint is limited. If you generally visit large cities you should mostly be fine though.

Use Corporate Status match with Hyatt. Stay 20 nights to receive Globalist. Smaller footprint than Marriott though.

My bad. You're correct. Meant challenge.

Hello there. I have been interviewing with Okta and got through all 5 rounds of interviews. They say they want to offer me the job but there is a global freeze for all marketing roles at the company. They want to offer me a contractor role instead. Does anyone here know if that is the case? I haven't heard anything as they seem be on wellness week. Thanks for any guidance :)
