Easy, it’s been ingrained in pop culture as classy. Take this Anderson paak song for example:

I been broker way longer than I been rich so until it levels out
Imma take your mama to the Marriott and wear it out

I only did SPG for points, Marriott hotels have always been nicer

If Marriott keeps giving everyone the cold shoulder even with their status with reservations I’m about to switch to Hyatt. I spend money alongside with traveling on the company dime $20k+ a year I better get preferred treatment. Not trying to sound to entitled

The problem with Hyatt is they have a lot fewer properties

I have been searching for a travel card for months. I am a young guy who is looking to take advantage of credit and earn points at the same time.

My girlfriends family has Southwest and swear by it, with companion pass being the differentiator. I am in the DMV area and have mostly flown Jet Blue or Southwest. Any thoughts on this?
