For those who have a chance at Globalist (raising hand), I bet a lot are...for those who just want an alternate chain and live in the US, I would guess more Hilton (getting top tier status for free w/ a CC is compelling)

SPG master ledger is great for analysis...I hit 100 nights w/Starwood every year but one post-Ambassador program - average annual spend was $18K. Only one of those years did I actually pass $100K. And I spend a lot of time in bigger cities & had a $215 lifetime ADR wStarwood.
But now...spend a ton of money for a heavily weakened Ambassador experience (and a Your24 benefit that is a shell of what it used to be)? No thanks.
