Switching from Marriott to Hilton - is it worth it? My work travel is sporadic so I only have Gold status at Marriott. With Hilton Aspire card I’d get top / Diamond status at Hilton. Worth switching?

I’m diamond on Hilton, but think if I start traveling consistently again I’m going to switch to Marriott. It seems to be the preferred hotel chain by most people on here due to the higher quantity of properties

like

You can request room upgrades on the app though, but I haven’t done it before

I travel weekly and stay at Hilton; my project locations have been such that Hilton properties are better than Marriott’s and I’ve stuck to it. I get pretty nice upgrades when I travel to major cities (Chicago Etc) with diamond status

like

Don’t forget that Hilton has a partnership with lyft so you get points for rides in addition to delta miles

You’re right! Will have to consider those extra points from Lyft as well.

CONT: Currently only at Gold Marriott status, but typically earn enough points for 1 free trip a year. It would be nice to have top status at Hilton next year to earn more points when I do travel.

My wife and I have been staying at Marriott for years and have hotels we like at our fav travel locations. We should be able to find similar Hilton’s. Curious to hear others experience with Hilton Honor rewards program!

FYI OP, the Hilton Aspire gives you automatic Diamond status.

Have diamond with Hilton. I’ve gotten decent points, free WiFi and breakfast, and occasional upgrades. But I might switch to Marriott next yr because Hilton doesn’t have many great properties abroad when I want to actually use my points

Can her mom get her a passport in the US and ship it to her? Is there anyway around this?

Thank you!!
