I'm going to be traveling more this year and want to figure out which hotel loyalty programs it would make sense for me to maximize on. My budget is generally targeted to midrange hotels with a splurge here and there and I mostly stay at hotels when I travel abroad. I have Hilton Gold status and A|Club Platinum status based on those instant promos that were active recently, but I haven't stayed at those hotels in a while. Also, I don't have any hotel credit cards yet. Lots of chains are running promos in Q1, so which ones are good for 1 night stays, 2-3 night stays, etc so as to maximize the reward points? Which ones are good for redeeming points for hotels abroad?
