Yup I actually started trip planning once I heard about the merging, and how I may get free brekkie and nice upgrade later this year. Our annual big vacation is in November and got Christmas trip too. Like I said, 36 nights in total but now you bet I’m going to move all the paid JW Marriott and W nights to Hyatt and Hilton. I will keep my Ritz and St Regis bookings since those are on points.
