Reply To: Preferred Hotels chain & ways to earn status

[harrysjones21]

To kick the discussion off I prefer the Hilton chain purely because of the benefits I receive through my status which I have obtained through my credit cards and their associated points.

Although, I maybe swayed in future as I find Marriott has lower redemption rates than Hilton for at least two trips I am planning on doing.

I do have status with Marriott also, even though I do find it hard to progress through the status tiers.

In my opinion there is not a major difference between platinum and titanium so I feel for the majority of travelers here platinum status would suffice.
