Lifetime status @ hotel chains Master thread
 

Doing a lot of hotel stays that might end....

Want to start Lifetime status @ hotel chains Master thread:

Please edit Wiki or cut/past

Hilton:
SPG:
Marriott:
Hyatt:

I'm not sure what exact format you wanted, since you didn't give an example entry. I added thread links for Marriott and Choice, but since the thread links didn't display the thread title in the wiki, I added some comments afterwards). Feel free to reformat if you prefer a different format.

I added links to the relevant FT forums as well as information form the website of each hotel chain.

sdsearch, I added the thread titles to the links you provided.

Hyatt Lifetime Diamond seems a bit murky, but I think that you need to have Diamond for 10 years and earn 1,000,000 base points. However, they don't advertise this perk on their website so I didn't add any more info other than the link to the FT discussion.

Great! Exactly what I was looking for..

Someone added IHG. I reformatted it to match the others as closely as possible and moved it into the alphabetical sequence. I also added info about Best Western.

Added swissotel and completed info on Hyatt.

Also added links to each programs tiers and benefits. But if this additional link makes it too cluttered, it can be removed. Same with the "Join <hotel name>" link. I included that since this is the Information Desk and beginners may not be members of the programs. If the goal of the wiki is to be focused to more advanced users, the join links can be removed as well.

I did. Thanks! Perhaps this thread should be a sticky?

Is this accurate? You stay five nights within a year, one time, and you have lifetime status?

EDIT: Reading futher - can this even really be called a Lifetime status? It appears the status level is the lowest one - you just get an actual card after 5 stays. Before that, you can just print out a card.

If that's Lifetime, then is Emirates base status a Lifetime one after two flights, as they don't send you a card until you actually fly?
