No status with UA yet (just a MileagePlus member) and I don't think I fly enough to qualify for any type of status soon. Here are my current stats:



I fly maybe twice a year (I will be flying again soon this year to Toronto). I usually don't do hotel nights and do Airbnb instead, due to the fact that it's cheaper. I do want a "plan b" if Airbnb doesn't have that great of an availability in the specific places I'd like to travel to. As for locations, I'd like to travel all over the world (and all over the US), so a hotel property that has many locations is a huge plus. Maybe I don't fit a hotel loyalty program due to such low numbers, I'm not sure? I did a little more research and I'm thinking my choices are between Marriott and IHG?
