[QUOTE=pinniped;11552060]- Elites are treated fairly at resorts. (At Marriott, they aren't.)


DH is currently at a Marriot resort. He has been given free golf ( cart fees only) both days he played and coupons for Starbucks. though no lounge or anything - that more than works.

The other thing to look at is you can make top tier in Hilton with only 28 single nite stays.

It takes 75 nites at Marriot.
