Hi everyone,

I'm have been traveling for work quite a bit over the last 5 years but just started to really pay attention to FF programs and maximizing points. I have read a lot on flyertalk but I'm a little unsure what hotel program I should pursue for 2015 status. My previous travel for work was located in the mid west and I usually felt lucky when I could stay somewhere with a HI or a HIX. Over the last couple of months my work has me traveling to the west coast and my hotel options have improved dramatically. Here is the current status that I have for 2014.

IHG - Plat Amb (earned through stays - 65 qualifying nights so far)
HH - Gold (from fast track program)
MR - Gold (through United status)
Hyatt - Plat (from United Club Card)
CC - (through status match)

I'll keep my IHG status, I feel I'm pretty close to getting RA status so I'm ok there. My question is what should I pursue for a higher status in another program? I'm leaning towards HH and MR as they give the best options for where I will be staying while Hyatt and CC don't have enough locations.

So what would be better, go for HH Dia or MR Plat? I like to rack up points to be able to take my fam on a nice vacation (internationally), but I'll end 2013 with nearly 500K points from IHG, so I'm set for a while and can build a new pile in another program. I also like to be treated to upgrades etc. when on the road and make my fam feel like they are special when they are with me.

What is the best program for me? What program offers the most value in your opinion? I appreciate the feed back.

Thanks,

Mike
