However, those points flow more freely if you use a HHonors AMEX or Visa. Therefore, if you do not travel on business much, OR AT ALL, and not all of your leisure time is spent at some Marriott hotel (hopefully this is true!), then, even with the higher point level requirements, the infrequent and/or leisure traveler has a better chance of attaining that reward.

This is all the more so, given the current 50,000 bonus point promotion that Hilton is now running for just 4 stays at any of their hotel brands, including Hampton!
