Is it OK generally to choose 2 different companies to stay loyal to?
You will
generally end up with greater benefits by concentrating your business with one airline and one hotel chain, as you will generate higher levels of status by doing so. Higher status level = better perks.
Splitting your business will
generally lessen the benefits you will receive from each company as you are generating less business for those companies. Lower status level = fewer perks.
