Whatever assistance you can provide is greatly appreciated...

Seems I should have done more research prior to committing to a particular hotel loyalty program. I began traveling 18 months ago and joined PC because it was a familiar chain. Having been a lurker here for quite some time I have received quite an education.

Some travel background -
I drive all over, seldom fly, hotel stays are one nighter's, 5 or 6 a month. I utilize all partner programs where practical and beneficial.

How would a status "swap" work going from PC to Marriott? ((If it is at all possible))

Any negative experiences with their partners?

Best card to use - AmEx or Marriott Visa comments??

How does the spouse transfer work? (can't find that info on their web site)

Any ATT partner program users care to comment on posting times, errors or ommissons?

Thank You for your time.
John
