My point, in sticking to the thread, is that AMEX offers both a Hilton and a SPG Card at the Luxury Level.
Hilton gives Diamond which upgrades to Suites, has Lounge Access, and Includes Breakfast.
Marriott via SPG gives Gold level which has none of these things.

One is a superior offer.

Yes. Diamond card from Hilton is a superior offer for people like you.

For a lot of us, who have hundreds or thousands of nights of SPG/MR status, we are happy that Marriott is not giving away top tier status for basically free w/ a CC!
