and Bonvoy is that much better? The Hilton program isn't without its flaws, but for paid stays with Diamond status (which I have) and if you can pay with their co-brand CCs (which I can)... for work reimbursable and even personal stays, even using a bottom of the barrel value it's still a very compelling return. Yes, an individual point isn't worth as much, but you earn so many of them your rate of return is still higher. Plus their promos tend to be better than Marriott's, at least the past couple of quarters. Comparing point vs. point is "pointless" without considering how quickly you earn them
