Great posts, but some of the items mentioned are laughable. What does handing out 1000 points to change a profile have to do with anything in the real (or travel) world? I mean, why would one expect to be rewarded for changing their profile?

Whatever Rut Dog said, I agree.

Lisadiamond.....you, me and 10,000 others share the same pattern for YTD stays with Hyatt versus Hilton. I'm not staying in more Hyatts because Hilton is changing their program, are you?

Where I stay is based on trying to find the best value. It's hard for me to stray from the hotels that reward for loyalty, but the best value might be found at a Best Western.
