You need to compare apples-to-apples.

As a DM on DL, the equivalent is an EXP on AA or 1K on UA. (In fact, you only need 100K to get to UA / AA level.) I can earn with only 90K with an affiliated...

Nice Program

I like this program. I have lifetime SPG Gold, and nothing on Marriott. This will have me book Marriott properties when more convenient vs going out of the way to Starwood.
