That's your opinion. I stay at various chains -- HHonors, PC, SPG and occasionally others -- and HHonors still offers what I want. Everyone is different.
As for "respect for loyal customers," I don't expect that from a large corporation. My bit about "I love large faceless corporations and they cherish me in return -- sometimes

" is a JOKE -- I'm lampooning people who have unrealistic expectations of large, impersonal entities.
