I've been thinking about this question for the better part of a year.

Let me start by saying: it seems that the large majority of FT members that religiously visit this forum (SPG) are business travelers.

I'm wondering, for those that travel for leisure, how loyal are you to SPG?

When I first started out, I guess about a year ago, I was SPG obsessed. The reason being: they have the best aspirational properties of any chain.

Presently, instead of being loyalty obsessed, I now look at two things: quality vs. price. That's it.

Part of my reasoning may have to do with the fact I'll never be anything higher than SPG Gold, I'm assuming. The other part of my reasoning has to do with having my eyes forced open into the reality of quality hotel stays [once I became Virtuoso affiliated]: there are just too many fabulous hotels to stick to one chain.

So, leisure travelers, do you stick to SPG properties? If so, why?
