Then we analyze the selection of cards for our customers who are not loyal to a hotel. The first thing to emphasize is that we are comparing the credit card project itself to the quality of the hotel loyalty program. Personally, for hotel credit card, the most important thing is the value of the card award, the included membership level and the annual cost. As for the consumption structure of each card, it does not really matter. Because hotel card for most people, is unlikely to become the main consumption. The following three aspects are evaluated separately.

First, open Card award

Open card awards are mainly shown in the number of free nights that can be re-booked. For each card, we choose the most upscale, mid-range, the most low-level calculation. First, list the redemption criteria for free nights at each hotel.

Then there are the most free nights that can be redeemed for each credit card's Open Card award. To make the comparison representative, we choose the low-end hotel (Cat1-2), Mid-range hotel (basically the main force of the hotel chain, cat4-5), as well as the most upscale hotels are compared respectively.

Second, the card with the membership level

Three, the annual fee cost of the card

Iv. Analysis

1. Open Card Bonus: The US Bank's Carlson Club Premier Reward offers the most free nights in all grades. The reason is that two nights accommodation is too overbearing (only for those who hold this card to enjoy it, so the two-night two-night booking is the most cost-effective). However, given the number and distribution of hotels,Amex Surpass SPG can offer more than 1, 2-stall accommodation. At ordinary times, we would like to roll wool, more likely to be in the popular tourist attractions to redeem upscale hotel accommodation. The 4-5 stalls are basically the backbone of the hotels. AMEX Surpass, SPG, Marroit Premier reward, IHG offer accommodation for 2-3-night 4-5-stall hotels. If you want to book the best hotel, then there is no doubt that the Citi Reserve or Hyatt, can stay in the top Hotel 2 nights (Maldives Hilton, Hyatt, respectively, 9 and 6, the price of a night is about 1000 US dollars).

Conclusion: The distribution and quantity of the hotel, redemption of the top hotels Citi Reserve (2) Hyatt (2) Club Carlson Premier Reward (2) tie

Mid-range Hotel 1. Club Carlson Premier Reward (4,2) 2.Marroit Premier Reward (3,2) 3. Marroit Reward (3,1) 4. SPG (2,2) AMEX Surpass (2,2)

Low-end hotels: 1. Club Carlson Premier Reward (18,10) 2. AMEX Surpass (15,7) 3.SPG (12,8) Club Carlson Reward (12,8)

2. Membership Level

It is recognized that the hotel's most important three rights: breakfast, Executive Lounge and Suite upgrade. Credit cards are included in the membership level, except that IHG is a top tier member and the other is only intermediate. Unfortunately, IHG's top membership is almost nothing. Intermediate member, Hilton Gold and Marriott Gold is the best treatment, can say enjoy three rights, but sometimes to look at the front desk mood. But the Ritz card to the Marriott Gold only the first year, after the maintenance need to spend $10000 a year, much less than surpass or reserve. and SPG actually give junior members, is the most incredible.

Conclusion: 1. Surpass, reserve 2. Ritz 3. Club Carlson Premier Reward,hyatt

3. Annual fee cost

The first year fee-collection card includes surpass, Citi Reserve, Ritz,club Carlson. The previous section has already talked about the other benefits of Ritz card for Marriott Powder, has been greatly valued back to the annual fee, but for ordinary people is not necessarily. Hilton's two high-end cards are equivalent to buying a gold card with an annual fee, and if you live several times a year, the breakfast is also worth the annual fee. The second year, in addition to the two low-end cards, so cards are required annual fee. IHG can be said to be the cheapest one of the hotel's annual fee cards, and the absolute annual fee for one night's stay, plus Marriott Premier reward, Hyatt has a 1-night-a-year set-up, which is sure to offset the annual fee. Club Carlson Premier Reward 40,000 points, the equivalent of two nights cat4 accommodation, the atmosphere exposed, far beyond the value of the annual fee.

In addition, in addition to Amex's four cards and the US bank's two cards, the card issued by Chase is free of foreign currency charges. It also saves an extra fee for travel around the world.

Conclusion: 1. IHG 2. Club Carlson Premier Reward 3.  Club Carlson Reward 4. Marroit Premier Reward,hyatt

Club Carlson Premier Reward is ranked in the top three of the rankings and is undoubtedly the best choice for hotel credit cards. In addition, considering the size and quantity of hotel chain, Marroit Premier reward,surpass, Reserve,club Carlson Reward,hyatt. And fame far-broadcast SPG in addition to the low-end hotel free accommodation in a slightly competitive accident, the rest of the various aspects of the no-shine, can be described as "virtual" name dingding.
