Hyatt? Marriot? or Marriot Premier?

[peace123]

will chase sign up bonus & spend reqs get better or stay same or get worse?

It used to be $5k spend req in 3 month for 50k points with IB and $3k for 40k points with SP.

but we all know that's not the case now.

[U-no-me!]

I don't get it.
Doesn't the Mariott card give 5-6 free nights, while the Hyatt card gives only 2?
So, why Hyatt?

+1
 
Marriot gives 70k + 1 free nighnt in 1-4 catergory + on anniversary 1 free nigh in 1-5 catergory.

There are many beautiful full service Marriots in the 3,4,5 catergory. it's 15k for a catergory 3, 20k for a 4 and 25k for a 5.

IMO the hyatt is only worth it if you are speciffically looking at staying at some high priced hyatts in sometimes far flung places.

Staying in a Park Hyatt or many of the Andaz, GH, and HR properties are an experience and a real treat.  It's like flying in First Class and then some.

Staying in a Marriott is...staying in a Marriott.

Can use the points for staying in a ritz Carlton as well, but it's 50K/night
