When not in Houston, I spend most of my time in part of Asia (India, China, Singapore, Thailand primarily) as I relocated there a few years ago.
I am looking for your advice on whether to try and rack up some status with either MARRIOTT or HYATT or STARWOOD for the remainder nights?
Any questions please let me know. Thank you so much for your help.

If you decide you want to obtain status with Starwood, then you should get the SPG Amex (if you don't already have it). You will get 5 nights/2 stay credits towards elite status. Also, if you are staying at SPG properties, you will obtain 2 SPG points for every dollar spent on the SPG Amex at SPG properties in addtioin to the 2 points you get from the dollars spent at the hotel (3 points after obtaining gold status).
If you want to get an SPG Amex, send me a private message and I can give you a referral.
