Which Hotel Rewards Program Do I Go With?

Without question, go for an Intercontinental Group Hotel(ICH), and don't forget to sign up for Priority Club Rewards. This is easily the best bang for the business buck spent on hotel nights vs rewards given back to the end user (you, the business traveler.) Year after year, I have acquired gear and gift certificate alike just by using my Priority Club card and staying at any ICH. Priority Club rewards will stuff your family's stockings at Christmas or pay for that big vacation you have been planning, or how about saving up for a new flat screen? Anything you can imagine, Priority Club has it, and just in case you could not find it, they offer a personal shopper starting with 50,000 points. No other hotel rewards plan will take care of you like this one. If all the aforementioned is still not enough to entice you to make the switch, let's talk recognition. Upon reaching Platinum status, (50 stays per year or 50,000 points) you are guaranteed a room in any ICH property, and if there is an upgrade available, you will be spoiled with it. It is not uncommon for me to open the door to a beautifully equipped suite with a bottle of wine waiting for me. It's the nights like these that you don't mind being on the road. Just remember... the more you stay, the more you will be rewarded. I am also a member of HiltonHonors, Choice Privileges and Star Rewards, and let me tell you, none of them compare.

Which rewards program do you use?
