What can I say? My loyalty is divided. I tend to book a hotel based on price and location. I'll scoop up the points when I can but since I don't travel nearly as often as I'd like, I don't go out of my way to only stay at a major chain. Since I'll never reach elite status with my infrequent stays, my loyalty is very much up grabs. In fact, I prefer boutique properties over the cookie-cutter corporate look and feel.
Thanks to Julie Weed for spotlighting my take on loyalty programs in the New York Times.
