The one I have for Marriott (from a F25 company) is pathetic...rarely available, often more $$$ than AAA. SPG ones are fantastic...almost always available, quite good.
I'm not optimistic...
Agreed. I'm entitled to use the SET code (and Marriott equivalent) for a tier-1 investment bank. It was pretty good in 2016. The Starwood 2017 rates seem ok. However, the Marriott 2017 rates are awful. I'm not sure if it's the internal travel team still deciding on outcome of RFPs or if it's just rubbish rates. But I've not been able to stay at some of my preferred Ritz Carlton hotels in recent times because of it. Very disappointing.
