A lot of marriott.
How is it possible that Hyatt coups lose reward availability. you can get any room as long as it's available.
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.

Never paid any attention to these awards, never had results that make any sense.

Still, how in the world is Marriot being awarded "best hotel program" and Delta "best credit card"?

Are people really that dumb?

Isn't it all based on number of votes?

No.
I see,
"Winners are determined not by how many votes a program receives, but by the overall merits of each program as reflected in "Value Voting." Value Voting asks voters to assign a number between 1 and 10 for each program in addition to simply ranking programs according to the voter's preference. The program receiving the highest average Value Vote with at least 2 percent of the overall popular vote in a category wins that category."
