Agreed. But I'm at the same time Hyatt Diamond, SPG Platinum and Hilton Diamond so I already diversify my business. I don't like Marriott and IMHO there are only a few decent IHG Options plus their program is too inconsistent to me.
SPG offers a card in Canada now which is pretty decent but their redemptions are not the greatest with some exceptions (I talked about this earlier here - no need to repeat myself).
There is the saying 'There are only bad options - it's about finding the best one." I take it with humor and consider it a game.
