The really big thing is the promos - you can accumulate points like no other program and the redemption includes the anyhotel card which gives you way more flexibility. With their amazing promo spectrum I've realized over 20% return in anyhotel cards against my spend in that program. Just avoid the non-H'd Holiday Inns and you can do very well.
