Comparison of hotel members’ point value and members’ rights and interests
If you have never contacted the hotel membership program before, I suggest Accor’s members of the Accor Pleasure Circle. Because this membership plan is the most reassuring, the amount of points that can be exchanged is fixed, and the quality and cost-effectiveness of the hotel are good.
If you often travel and go to many cities, I suggest that you be a member of Marriott Hotels. After all, the number of Marriott hotels is the largest, and there are many cities to release.
If your budget for staying in the hotel is in the middle price, and you know the point algorithm, I recommend Hilton Honorary Guest Member of Hilton. The membership upgrade is relatively fast, it is relatively easy to maintain the rank, and the membership rights and interests are relatively good.
In addition, if you have a hotel that you often go to or like, remember to log in before booking, so as not to miss the benefits of points.
Comparison of points value of hotel members
Among all hotel groups, Accor’s points are quite special. Accor does not sell points. Every 2000 points=40 euros is a fixed proportion. This has the advantage that members do not need to understand the slack and peak seasons, CAT1-8 to exchange for free rooms.
Most other hotel groups will carry out several promotional activities to purchase points every year. The value of points of each hotel group is roughly:
- Hilton points ($5/1000)
- Accor points ($22.3/1000)
- Intercontinental points ($5/1000)
- Marriott points ($8.75/1000)
- Hyatt Points ($17.14/1000)
Based on the use and value of points, the ranking of member plans of major hotels is:
Accor – Hilton – IHG – Marriott – Hyatt
Comparison of rights and interests of hotel members
Among the rights and interests of hotel members, I think they are more valuable: executive lounge, free breakfast, delayed check-out, welcome fruit or drinks, etc.
According to this standard, members of major hotels need to reach the following levels to achieve some or all of them:
- Hilton Gold Card
- IHG Platinum Card
- Marriott Platinum Card
- Accor Platinum Card
- Hyatt Adventurer
In terms of free breakfast, Hilton and Marriott are better; Hilton is the most generous point reward, and Marriott is more generous in the executive lounge. IHG members’ courtesy has long been recognized as the worst of all hotel groups, and the breakfast rights of the most senior members can not be fully guaranteed, which is entirely determined by the hotel.
According to the official courtesy of members and the actual situation of check-in, the hotel ranks the courtesy of members:
Hilton – Marriott – Accor – Hyatt – IHG
