Hi all,
Very new to the Hotel Loyalty labyrinth, as I don't stay in hotels frequently. But I'd like to make good use of when I do by choosing well in terms of value with the various programmes. Above basic status wise, I'm currently Silver with Accor and Marriott and that's about it this year(!)
About to go to France and Iceland where Accor has many choices of hotels all over France. SPG and Hilton Honors are way more limited in hotels and very pricey.
So, do I go with Accor in France, simply because there are a lot of choices, or not even bother with a hotel loyalty and go with whatever looks like a good hotel?
And in Iceland, it looks like Club Carlson is the only option for where I'm training. Is that worth spending extra for a few nights' stay, especially if any advantages are probably not available at that base level?
Would appreciate any advice for this and generally on the value of the various programmes, and if it's worth the time and effort of aiming towards certain programmes/statuses. Thanks!!
