I still recall the very first time a lounge attendant handed me a sheet of paper and pencil to tally it up. I was like, what the heck is this?

For me, SPG was better domestically, in terms of service, suite upgrades, and can't recall if they had the honor bar thing going. Generally, I'd agree with you Hyatt is the best overall program, but the domestic experience ain't anything to write home about, in my view.
