Paradoxically, this is exactly why I concentrate most paid stays on Marriott - the best way to build Marriott balances is by actually staying at the properties, which I do a lot for work (and pay with a corporate card, so credit card earning plays a role). You can earn plenty of Hyatt points through Chase - but no need for me to really be loyal to them, especially with a less useful footprint.
