Is it worth pursuing multiple lifetime hotel status’? Bonvoy lifetime platinum, considering going Hyatt Globalist, but even thereafter, might as well pursue Hilton Diamond…

You can get Hilton Diamond just by holding the Aspire card. As both an Ambassador and a Globalist, I vastly prefer Hyatt.

I’m only two years away from lifetime platinum. I’ll worry after that

As someone who has had lifetime Marriott status for a while (formerly lifetime Platinum, grandfathered into lifetime Titanium with the rebranding of the awards program to Bonvoy) it’s allowed me to “experiment” with other chains more. The downsides to lower or no status are much less in most hotels, as opposed to a cheap coach fare without status on a flight which can be downright unpleasant. That said, I tend to largely still use Marriott properties due to the status benefits but it is liberating to not have to worry about requalifying each year or travel with a project team that wants to use another chain.

My AMEX gives me pretty much perpetual Hilton Gold, so it tends to be my secondary chain, plus they like Marriott have a very large number of properties.

I’m lifetime titanium with Marriott and prefer Hyatt (where I have Globalist status at the moment but am a long ways off from lifetime Globalist, which requires spending $200k at Hyatts). With Marriott moving to dynamic award pricing, Hyatt points are worth a lot more too. Agree with others to just get Hilton status from credit cards, particularly with Hilton points having little value.
