I am sorry if this has been hotly debated previously - but obviously times are a changing - and so is my work situation and I could use some advice based upon current thinking
Currently I am UA 1K and that gives me BONVOY Gold
I also have an Amex card that gives me Honors Gold
In the past, I have typically not stayed in major hotel and so I have an accumulated much in any one program
However, with my current job - I anticipate potentially at least 14 nights, if not more per month moving forward (domestic, USA) and typically it will be in one city/hotel for a prolonged stay
... in fact, I am planning 16 nights in a single hotel in Dec before the end of the year.... (and most likely 20 nights in Jan already - but in a different city)
here is the obvious question - which program do people recommend overall (I know this is a BONVOY forum)
- I will not be paying for the rooms, they will be billed to a master corporate account in advance (I thought some programs only give the points to the person with the credit card to pays?)
-- and some programs have rules for nights stayed vs stays (regardless of number of nights)
- I can control where I want to stay - and I will typically be allowed to book a nicer "suite" type room since I will be staying for awhile

If I am staying for more than a week - stuff like gyms, swimming pools, breakfasts, lounges, etc - not to mention room sizes and upgrades start to have a greater importance

I am not sure if the cities that I will be visiting have both Marriott and Hilton properties - but most likely - and I thought about splitting between the 2 programs

thoughts and advice?

thank you in advance
