Hotel loyalty guides

Marriott Bonvoy

Bonvoy points

Travelers whose destinations keep changing

Marriott’s brands cover many destinations, but earning rates, breakfast and lounge benefits vary by brand. Check the hotel’s rules before choosing a rate.

World of Hyatt

World of Hyatt points

Knowing the award price before you go looking

Hyatt’s published award chart helps with planning. Check the footprint first: the program is useful only where it has a hotel you want.

Hilton Honors

Hilton Honors points

Coverage nearly everywhere, plus the fifth night free

Hilton’s broad footprint makes it useful across trips. Dynamic award prices need a fresh comparison with cash; eligible longer award stays can benefit from the fifth night free.

IHG One Rewards

IHG One Rewards points

The nights between elite tiers

Milestone Rewards offer benefits between status tiers. Check what the hotel’s brand includes as well as what your tier provides.

ALL Accor

Reward points

Europe, and anywhere else Accor is thick on the ground

1,000 Reward Points take €20 off an eligible bill. Earning rates vary substantially by brand, so the same spend can produce different rewards.

Wyndham Rewards

Wyndham Rewards points

Road trips and cheap nights

Fixed award bands make points costs easier to plan. The bands change on September 15, 2026; check the dates and terms before booking.

Choice Privileges

Choice Privileges points

Midscale value, mostly in the Americas

Choice includes the Radisson hotels in the Americas alongside its midscale brands. Check which program a Radisson property belongs to before booking.

GHA DISCOVERY

DISCOVERY Dollars (D$)

Independent luxury, with rewards that spend like cash

DISCOVERY Dollars spend like cash within the alliance. Direct-booking requirements matter: an intermediary booking can lose earning and benefits.

Best Western Rewards

Best Western Rewards points

Occasional travelers

Gold starts at five nights and points do not expire. Independently operated hotels still need a property-level check.

Radisson Rewards

Radisson Rewards points

Anyone booking a Radisson outside the Americas

Radisson Rewards covers hotels outside the Americas. Radisson-branded properties in the Americas belong to Choice Privileges.
