Starwood may have more suites to offer as upgrades to its top tier members than some of the other programs, but the others have their merits too (easier access to complimentary breakfasts, free Internet, more hotels with lounges, etc.). Having top tier in Hilton, Marriott, and SPG I see both the good and bad in all three, and honestly, it's hard for me to say one is the clear winner over the others. They all seem to have their mix of outstanding, average, and awful hotels; and they all have their benefits as well as their areas they fall behind on. If you want to go after upgrades to larger suites, and plan on staying in a lot of properties that offer them, by all means, go for SPG Platinum. Keep in mind that coming from a program like Hilton or Marriott, you'll see fewer lounges overall at full service properties, and fewer comped breakfasts, things that Marriott and Hilton both heavily promote to their top tier members. A lot of it really comes down to where you're going to be traveling, and what you value most out of a loyalty program.

I just went through four steps on Office Max' website to find "Weekly Store Ads", only to then be told that I have to go to an Office Max store to see the weekly ad. Nice of them to have that link on the mainpage. :rolleyes:

Just had to buy another $2.17 in handsaw blades. For 2,504 PriorityClub points, think that's an OK deal ...

Good morning, Box.
After a long weekend of DC tourist activities with my sister, I am ready for my MH C flight on Wednesday. |

All very good points to think about. I like the Hilton brand for the predictability. There are some amentiy offerings that they lack at times but then again my stay at the Conrad in Tokyo was :)!!!
And I must admit that I'm quite fortunate to be able to maintain top-tier status in three or four hotel programs, mostly on someone else's dime. It does allow me to shop around more, and weigh all the options. I'd probably have to pick one and stay with it if I was doing it just on personal travel. |

Huh, the angus burgers they have had out here have been very good. Maybe it was because we were the test market for a long time and the smaller production runs resulted in a better quality product until it went nationwide. :-:

Congrats, CM.

My computer went all Wobbly -Bonkers this morning and that is exactly how I explained it to the IT guy at work.
ROFLMAO! Did they think you were wobbly-bonkers using that phrase? This has to be the funniest post of the day. Maybe I can add to it. On Saturday, I came up from my basement (kids playroom is down there) and said to my husband: "the basement is looking pretty rolleyes". He looked at me like I was from outerspace, and then I realise what I had said :D:D |

excellent when compared to other McDonald's burgers, but just so-so when compared to burgers at other places.

We are both Potterholics. I haven't met up with her over there in 2 years.
She's stayed with me in the US several times. What a small world, indeed!! Next time she visits, we'll have to have a "do" |

Admiralty and Maritime law encompasses a wide range of legal topics, from contracts governing commercial shipping and other offshore activities, to personal injury/tort cases on the high seas or in territorial navigable waters (Jones Act, General Maritime Law, Longshoremen & Harbor-Workers Compensation Act, Death on the High Seas Act), to certain varieties of Air Crash cases, and much more. I find it extremely interesting.

I cannot believe you know her! I have known her for 17 years. We were in pre-natal classes together in Bristol with our daughters, and we've been friends ever since!

That was probably their target; and I think they did a pretty good job of hitting it.
