To be honest, if I was in your shoes I would find out which group has the better properties in the locations that I stay since you are already purchasing exec level rooms.
I am more thinking about my leisure travel. I want more selection, I guess when I go on vacation.
Also, I wouldn't mind getting myself one of these spinner bags.
If I do the challenge, I will be gold...the accruals look the same on Hilton and Marriott (10points per $).
I could save the company some money, by doing the upgrade (buy cheaper room and then upgrade).
