No need for the sarcasm, your point is taken without you needing to be arrogant about it. I never sat here implying one's loyalty to a hotel chain will result in being turned away from other properties.

When people have a high status with a hotel chain or airline, my question was would they tend to sway that way and be biased towards that, when other options may be better.

As I had said, I briefly had mid level status with SPG and was swayed that way when better options are available. I genuinely don't know how people act when comparing hotel chains to airline loyalty programs. I, for example am Gold with Qantas, and will do whatever I can to fly one world airlines.

You don't get swayed by it, so congratulations.
