Maybe I am so new at this that I don't understand why you would want to make your most loyal customers and biggest advocates angry? I recruited 4 other guys in my company from Hilton to Marriott because of MR this year and now I look like a jerk. Thanks!
Ditto. Three months ago I did a big study on which program to use, and switched to Marriott from Hilton. And signed up for the Visa. And booked a ton of rooms.
With the new "enhancements", I wouldn't have switched. So I'll probably just go back to HHonors. It's frustrating. My annual level of travel gets me to Diamond in Hilton, but only Gold in Marriott. It sure looks like the Golds are getting the short end of the stick.
