Regarding the OP... I stayed with HHonnors (mostly due to locations of properties and the fact I know what I'm getting). When Marriot had their Mega Bonus I was sure to spend four nights to get the free night (in the past I didn't bother with that... so I guess you could argue Hilton lost several nights from me however nothing major)... A lifetime designation would refocus my efforts on Hilton...
