I am not sure how much I will stay out of town within the next year. My guess is 15-30 nights but it will depend on client demand.

I like HHonors because I will be a silver upon this stay, and they have a promotion where you earn 1,000 bonus points per week night and 2,000 bonus points per weekend night. I imagine, I'd have enough for a reward stay after this one trip.

I like SPG because I think the lifetime reward nights is an excellent feature, although it may take a few years for me to earn elite status. Also, if for some reason my time out of town increases, it seems they treat their members better. And I do like the special offers that they email out. My family has a timeshare with them and I have always enjoyed that. Additionally, I know some people that work for their corporate office so it seems it be nice to support them.

Your thoughts on the two rewards program?
SPG if you can continue to average enough stays/nights for mid-tier staus. Their top level seems better than Hilton's, but harder to earn.

Hilton suits me fine as a liesure traveler. ^
