I would be curious to see which benefit I’m missing out on as part of the “objective” package that you claim as it sure doesn’t seem like suite upgrades are one of them.
Well sure, if you pick the part of the world that 1) has a good universal breakfast benefit for all hotel chains (unlike MAR in US), 2) no properties that have resort fees, 3) no parking needed, that of course equalizes the two programs.
How about 4) confirm a 7 night suite up to one year in advance with a SUA. Core benefit of Hyatt that Marriott will never match. Or 5) if traveling with friends or family and have multiple rooms, using GOH or lounge access awards. Nice benefits Marriott also doesn’t offer.
Seems like Marriott should be your go-to choice program for all 1 night China stays then. 100% upgrade rate hard to beat.
