Here are the things that keep me with any Marriott properties:
- Many aLoft hotels have no pet fees
- a couple places I visit (some regularly) don’t have Hyatt, but do have Marriott
- I have several hundred thousand points to burn
Other than that, I’m completely in the Hyatt ecosystem. We are mostly domestic US based travelers who drive where we go, especially now due to covid. We use some cash back cards, but find the milestone bonuses, easy ability to spend Hyatt points, etc. make up for being in the Hyatt system.
