You are clearly an SPG fan, and are entitled to your opinion, which evidently favors low-carb chocolate over free nights at great properties.
As for diets, I think calorie counting has been practiced long before the 80’s. Personally, I am a low fat kind of person.
Actually, I favor Hilton Hhonors, I'm a Diamond with that program; but that's beside the point. I'm looking for some reasons to use Hyatt. Simple question!
As to numbers of properties, Hyatt has in the 200 range. Starwood close to 1,000. Marriott has 2400. Hilton has gotta have at least that many, if not more with all of their brands. SO, the number of properties doesn't exactly favor Hyatt as far as earning and redemption possibilities.
In any case, the only reason that I'm hearing from these responses is that Gold Passport is the far and away answer to my quesiton. However, as I keep saying, I dont see any hard core evidence to support that (Freddie awards, in particular). And the number of properties clearly favors Hilton and Marriott (and Starwood to a smaller degree).
So, again, what else is there? Service? "That Hyatt Touch?" Great beds? Great carpet and wall vinyl? Great towels? What??????
