Not happy about the loss on aspirational hotels. But I really don’t see a better program out there.
As long as suite upgrades are still confirmable with TSUs, it’s still the best program for me.
other than footprint, Bonvoy doesn’t compare well (I’m lifetime Titanium).
Other than FreeNight Certs being good at all hotels (especially SLH) if you book out far enough to get a standard room, Hilton doesn’t compare well.
My biggest peeve is the FNC can’t be combined with TSUs.
