Marriott or SPG in 2018? I have 25 nights rolling over from Marriott, so either is 50 to platinum. What do you think?

I would say go for Marriott since they're the parent seems like whatever changes they make to the rewards will impact SPG more, but whole really knows. Might not matter all that much since status is matched, more of which properties do you have better access to (likely marriott in smaller places) and which do you like staying at (probably SPG with better beds)

Also wondering. I’ve been a Marriott guy due to proximity to client last year and it’s probably worthwhile for the long term for lifetime, but SPG is probably more useful points wise

When do nights roll over and when do they not?

@A2 Roll over nights are ending with Marriott after 2018 (you won't have this available for 2019), but once you make status for the year the extra night (i.e. platinum 75 nights, anything over 75 nights) gets rolled over to count towards your next year's status.

Got it, thanks.

Hmm I was told first half of the year in 2018 by ambassadors.

Marriott lifetime used to be way easier to get with rollover nights, but 2018 is the last year they can rollover into. Based on that would do SPG since you'll get Marriott platinum anyway, but there's extra SPG benefits at 75 and 100 nights that Marriott doesn't replicate
