I appreciate the feedback. I did not consider the lifetime achievements so that is something to add to the decision. Just to be clear - I plan on keeping IHG Ambassador and not maintain IHG as my primary program, so I am looking for something new. I agree that CC is not ideal and that HY and SPG lack the property density in the area that I will be traveling to. So that leaves HH and MR. I'm a bit surprised that most of the feedback supported MR and very little to HH.

Since I have Gold with UA, I will maintain Gold Status with MR regardless, but I will need stays to maintain Gold with HH unless I get a card or something. The lifetime award could be the tipping point, but that will take me 7 - 10 years to earn and as it was pointed out, it might not be offered by that time.

I appreciate it, I'm thinking MR will be the one, but I have another month before I start booking for January. But on the other hand HH Dia looks so easy to get....

Thanks,

Mike
