Here's my own personal experience with the programs in which I'm a member:
- Marriott - frequent user - can name all of the brands in the program easily
- HHonors - frequent user - could probably name all of the brands in the program
- SPG - infrequent user - would probably get most of 'em right but not all
- Hyatt - infrequent user - don't know what other brands participate besides Hyatt
- Priority Club - infrequent user - filled out form to join in lobby of roadside motel - know little about other brands besides Holiday Inn and Staybridge Suites
- Wyndham - joined only after Priceline dealt me a Wyndham - know nothing about the brands other than Wyndham
- OMNI - joined only after Priceline dealt me an OMNI - know nothing about the other brands (if any)
- Fairmont - infrequent user - know they don't have any other chains
- Baymont Inns - joined because of a promo to get AA miles - never stayed at any of their hotels
