Just for the record here. This no comment againts anyone... but Mariott

Do you know how innacurate the info passed the link is...

1)To get the stay for 130,000 pts If your have a Mariott Rewards Visa Card in many places you get 13 points per dollar so its not exactly 13,000 dollars that you spend, but 10,000!
With many 2X points offers it would be less. On the other hand:
If youre doing Residence Inn, TownePlace or Horizons its only 5 points per buck (8 with Mariott Visa) so in that case its 26,000 w/out the card. Much more bucks spent! Its not accurate for another reason, because elites get bonuses!

2) Im not to sure about other programs, but companies tend to write bad stats about other companies, they over do it. Maybe the SPG or Hilton is not that bad, infact they have better beds (SPG) for one thing.
