This sentiment is exactly right.
So applying to to employer-shopping, it’s reasonable to sort based on little details that reflect the management style or mindset of ownership.
It’s not a perfect filter. How a company spends money could reflect conservatism, inadequate capitalization, or a view that employees are just fungible billing units. It’s not an absolute indicator.
Does that mean that a big spending, generous employer will be a better place to work? Of course not—ask the 4,000 about to be unemployed at WeWork. But generally, companies that “cheap out” show it early.
This doesn’t mean that hotel miles are the absolute determinant, but it explains why some who are trying to compare apples to apples are looking at various indicators, of which that is one.
