I disagree with you on this point. I recognize that Hilton's properties are much more abundant than Hyatt's but I choose to chase Hyatt points because I enjoy staying at Hyatt properties much more than the competition's. I'd rather get 3 free nights a year at a hotel I love than 5 somewhere I don't.

I think the benefits that come via each hotel's CC is applicable to the choice. People use hotel-branded CCs to supplement their earning and pick up a few perks along the way like bonus free nights. Of course is someone is dead-set on not picking up another CC then you're right... But it depends...
