Well, now it is Hilton Honors leapfrogging Marriott in providing a fantastic benefit for their elite members.

Just received the email that Diamonds and Golds now automatically get free worldwide internet access worldwide.

Yes, I know many don't care about that but when I travel for leisure, the free internet outside of Western Hemisphere can add up very quickly and could be the tipping point for spending money at non-Marriott locations. I really like what Starwood and Hilton are doing for their elites.

I love Marriott and want to stay loyal to them but really wish they would expand the free internet to worldwide.

JMHO.
