I've been Marriott Titanium since January, 2019 (when it was called Platinum Premier) and Globalist since November, 2021.
Titanium has been consistent for me. I know exactly what to expect and what it'll be and it means: late checkout, breakfast, upgrades 1/3 to 1/2 of the time and the occasional front desk agent who wows me. Because I travel to so many secondary and tertiary locations, Marriott is important to me and Titanium is my number one status.
Globalist so far has been all over the map for me. I've had some stays where I said "this is why people praise this status" and others where I received less than I would have as Titanium.
For me, Marriott works better.
