Hyatt is most valuable, but you better hope you are staffed near one

like

Marriott has the best global footprint and worst dollar value for points. Hyatt gives you a lot more bang for your points but smaller footprint. I will say though the Marriott properties abroad usually offer pretty good value for points

Hyatt

Hilton!

Marriott is solidly competing with Motel 6 and best western these days.

like

I’m Hilton loyal... very happy! Footprint is solid and I earn a higher rebate than I did with Bonvoy given Marriott’s recent devaluations. They’re also piloting confirmed upgrades which is one of the big Hyatt differentiators today.

like

I was 12 years with Marriott and switched to Hyatt 1.5 years ago. Very happy with Hyatt, but I tend to travel to major cities where there's always one around.

like

Marriott just bc of the extensive portfolio everywhere. No matter where you’re staffed, they’ll likely be at least a Sheraton or courtyard (hopefully better). Hilton is next for footprint but the points value conversion just sucks for a nicer tier hotel.

like

Marriott. It may seem like you get more points with Hilton, but the points that you have to use is ridiculously high. Marriott has a better program and they treat you like gold when you have elite status.

Marriott

like

marriott. I can find more hotels almost everywhere and the point multiplier and benefits add up when you can always boom with them

Is 2k too big of a gift for a new friend (<4 months)? I went on vacation with my sons and a new friend and her son for a week. I put the hotel and amusement park tickets on my card for simplicity. After the vacation, she asked me to give her an itemized bill and I got busy with work and life and forgot about it for a month. She now has a lot of big home repairs she has to take care of and it's holiday season so I feel ridiculous asking for 2k from a single mom who makes 10% of what I do. (Cont.)
