Hello,
I normally travel very infrequently for work, but just recently I have had to go rather frequently to a small town with multiple Marriott options - including 2 FFs, 2 CYs and a Residence Inn.

Now the FF is the closest to my client site, so I normally just book that, but all the other brands have good negotiated rates with my client, and someone told me they normally choose whatever gets them the most Marriott points.

So now this no-tier member has to decide between the "brand names". Traffic is not a concern as my client site is against major traffic - so if I were to try to maximize reward points (don't need tier, just a "free night" for the family), what would be the "best option"? Would it only matter on the $$ spent?

Thanks!
DG
