Hotel elite status carries guaranteed benefits that can make every stay more comfortable, more rewarding and more affordable. Hopefully, you already have a plan in place regarding elite status qualification (or requalification) for your favorite hotel chain(s).

As we approach mid-2021, it’s time to take a look at strategies for status, so it may be time to consider a status match or challenge. We’ve covered the various programs currently offered by the major U.S. airlines along these lines, so today let’s shift our attention to hotel programs to see if one of them makes sense for you."

I love using points for hotel stays. If I can maximize that, all the better.
