If it works better for you, then that's where you should stay.

I was HH Diamond for a few years and am glad I left. I have better property coverage with Marriott, and the ratio of earned award nights to paid $$/nights is much, much better in my analysis.

I call the MR line maybe twice a year and never remember being on hold. I called two weeks ago to switch a points award to a just-earned certificate award at a sold-out hotel and it was done in about 3 minutes. I've had challenges with that type of a swap with other programs in the past.

I'm also down to <50 nights from LT status, which doesn't currently exist with HH.

So I'm staying with MR. Thanks for freeing up the upgrade and award availability.
