I have 60 potential hotel nights over the next 3 months. I could re-qualify for SPG or Marriott (+15 CC nights) with those nights.

My first leaning is toward SPG because of their current 4x promo, nicer room upgrades, easier reward bookings/flexibility.

However Marriott does have the 2x1 weekends and lifetime status. The nights would put me at 40% toward lifetime gold.

Curious how others would choose?
