Loyalty Traveler Analysis
Marriott Rewards MegaBonus is one I will likely complete. I love free night promotions that are achievable with low spend.
Sopot Marriott Resort near Gdansk, Poland is a category 5 hotel I would like to stay and there is Marriott Warsaw too. Marriott Lisbon is another hotel I would keep in mind for my travels.
Since I don’t earn Starpoints from credit card spend, SPG is a program I barely use anymore. Their promotions are weak for low spenders. I think I have only stayed one night at a Starwood Hotels in the past three years. There always seems to be a better hotel deal with some other hotel chain for my travels.
