I appreciate your passion for waving goodbye to HH
They have made serious mistakes in this economy with the program and customer service is hitting new lows sadly due to to the complicated workings and procedures of HH
However IHG Priority Club who I assume you refer to is probably not that much better then HH
In fact I would say recognition may be worse.You might consider Hyatt Gold Passport which is outstanding or the tried an true classic SPG program
All experiences will vary in all programs but these two programs are in my personal Hall of Fame
It is my hope one day to come back to HH if they get the house in order.
Cheers and congratulations for moving on
