I am now officially lost trying to figure out how to maximize all of the hotel offers being thrown around and which hotel provides the best service to its highest level members (two distinct questions I realize). Also, I know this is not the hotel forum, so please no comments about the location of this.

Q1. How to maximize the offers? From what I can tell about the offers I personally
have recieved, I can get 15,000 Starwood points for 5 stays. No min rate required. Easy. Then there is 50,000 HHonors points for 4 stays, Double Dip rate required. Double Dip rate? I will have to be "creative" with expenses to get the double dip rate but I will probably try to get this as well. Hyatt. No stay + bonus promos that I can find. I am probably going to get forced to move hotels mid week for the next month to get both the Starwood and HH promotions.

Q2. Premium levels. Again, personally, I am Starwood Platinum, Hyatt Diamond, and Hilton Gold (I have not activated this yet as this stauts is due to the the promotion). I am more satisfied with Starwood's top tier than Hyatt's (better service and except at the W always a suite) but would love to hear from HH Diamond members as to their experiences vs the other top tiers. One the thing about HH and why I have been reluctant to stay there is that everthing seems to be realted to a Corporate or more expensive rate. I realize this is all subjective, but I am the reason I am asking is I am trying to evaluate my own hotel loyality.

Thanks!
