one more thing, or two

Marriott points are worth more, with HH being so easy to get, it seems HH redemptions cost more points (expecially if you dont have the CC that allows AXON awards)...even though stays at Hilton earn 6+ ppd, Marriott stays competitive by giving plats 500 points as a welcome gift each stay (pass on the fruit) and their low end redemptions (expecially discounted pointsaver awards) are great value.

The only thing I don't like is until most of the cat 1-4 certs expire, they inflated some cat 4 hotels to cat 5. We all hope they will get them back in order after the megabonus certs are done.
