So even if I switch to working on my Hilton status, I will still enjoy uninterrupted Platinum status and benefits through 2015, 2016 and forever on (unless Marriott changes their program). There's little status earning incentive to stay with Marriott in 2015 any more. I'll still use Marriott for redemptions and when it makes sense location wise.
What am I missing?[/QUOTE]
I have been using a similar strategy,and I am only 15 nights from LTP with Marriott.
Without a current bonus promo as incentive at Marriott, I have been staying at Hiltons and Hyatts whenever possible,yet redeeming with Marriott.
I will readjust my plans in Q4,depending on what promos may be offered.
