If someone wants a suite without paying for it, their best bet is being Hyatt Globalist because there are fewer high level elites at Hyatt than there are Platinums+ at Marriott. Plus Hyatt suite upgrade awards are confirmed at booking, which is something I wish Marriott would do because I've found their upgrade awards hard to use.
