Why not just enjoy the status you have with EH and SW? Even though your could "qualify" for other programs, it would seem that unless you are going to use them on a very regular basis in the future and like their benefits and redemption, you don't accomplish much by switching. I would much prefer to be staying at properties as an SPG Platinum than just about anywhere else, when available at an acceptable rate.
(By the way EH=Hilton family of properties and SW=Starwood family of properties in the GDS systems)</font>
I would second this, as a dia and plt, and MAR PLT, I have decided to discontinue using marriotts. The trouble that they have given me, and lack of customer service, have led me to generally ban all stays at marriott hotels. I drive 20 miles out of my way to stay at hot and hlt hotels every night, and have convinced coworkers to do the same.
