Marriott may actually be a better backup for you then Hyatt then. With elite bonuses it's pretty easy to get enough points to stay in modest but nice hotels and Marriott's footprint both domestically and internationally is far larger than Hyatt.
15 nights is like nothing for me to get..
50 nights is pretty easy..
Im more looking for a longer amount of time on vacation to use points on, rather than just a few very expensive nights..
I would want like 2 weeks in a modest but decent hotel with points, not like 2 nights in some incredibly fancy place..
Im an outdoors type.. I don’t sit around in my rooms.. If anything I sit around outside in the patio areas and be sociable with others..
A hotel is really just a place to shower and sleep to me, it just can’t be in disrepair and dirty..
