I came in with Hilton status, but have had really bad luck trying to get anything from them. The only time I got a benefit was after our van took an hour to arrive. The only IHG I've had luck with outside of training have been the Crowne in Dayton and the Holiday Inn AP in Charlotte (not the one half an hour away they have us in for sims). My next trip has a Doubletree, Hyatt, and Fairfield, so we'll see how that turns out. It's my first time in the Hyatt and the BHM doubletree has never given anything, so the only real option is the Fairfield.
