Sad thing is I’ve never once gotten credit on a comp stay from MGM, likely because it also comes with FreePlay and F&B credit so that negates it whereas others who were getting credit for comp nights were just comp nights now FreePlay or F&B. Not too sure but that’s fine.

Yeah, I just can’t see a path there for me plus I’ve spent years learning the ins and outs of the Hyatt-verse. I genuinely like Hyatt and I really enjoy that their benefits have teeth so to speak in terms of some recourse for properties not honoring them. Had a fairly bad experience with Hilton and refusing to honor benefits along with customer service having no teeth to contact and be the middle man, guessing Marriott is the same. In terms of footprint Hyatt’s is perfect for me 98% of my travel is US, only maybe 1 stay annually out of the US.
