My impression of various hotel chain forums on FT
So I've been spending time maximizing a lot of promos lately, and I've started to notice some trends on the board. Tell me if you guys agree:
1) Hilton - Wahhh...Devaluation...Wahhh...we're taking our business elsewhere.
2) Hyatt - OMG...BEST PROGRAM EVER...WE LOVE YOU. There's a lot of kool aid drinking going on after 2 rounds of FFNs
3) Starwood - Platinum Benefits are eroding...wahhh...we're going to Hyatt.
4) Marriott - There's really not much complaining or anything. I think it's filled with dudes who just spend a lot of nights on the road.
Thoughts?

5) Choice Hotels... utterly inconsistent, no real benefits for higher tiers
6) IC... WHY NO HOTELS IN HAWAII!
I've basically decided to move my business (and leisure) travel to Hyatt & SPG. Using Choice & IC only as backups.

I'm not sure what this has to do with the latest Miles and Points Buzz.
