Feeling very misguided to have stayed with Marriott for so long after SPG ceased to exist.
Welcome. Better late than never. I was as loyal to SPG as could be. Marriott destroyed that loyalty within a few months after formal merger in 2018. I switched to Hyatt. After a few stays in 2019 that were beyond awful at Marriott, I fled and never went back to Marriott except as a back up to a back up.
Hyatt might even be better than SPG.
