I'll also keep Hyatt Diamond - though admittedly this will only be my second year as Hyatt member. I really like the 4pm checkout, and club access has been better than Hilton.

Lastly, will keep IHG plat. This is easy with the CC - but still love IHG for its ease of earning nights via pts and the surprising plat recognition when I get it.

If you still have status with Delta you should give SPG a shot as well. Whilst I have no status with SPG, I have received some nice upgrades and no problem with a 4 p.m. checkout with the Delta crossover program.
