My top two choices as well. There simply aren't enough Hyatt properties available and Priority Club has far too few upscale properties to make either of those programs a good choice. Starwood is aggressively pursuing a major expansion program in the US and building two new chains - Aloft and Element - as well. It also has quarterly promotions available for all of its members.
