Benchmarks

Hotels and lodging benchmark

Hotel chains, vacation rentals and airline booking sites that pay US airline miles. Checked Oct 24, 2026 against official pages.

What stands out

United × Marriott is the only live two-way status link: Premier Gold and up get Bonvoy Gold Elite, and Marriott Titanium gets Premier Silver.
Hotel spend counts toward airline status at Alaska/Hawaiian and JetBlue when booked through their own hotel sites. American's AAdvantage Hotels terms could not be loaded, so it is not counted.
American's Hyatt link is ending. Link by Nov 15, 2026 to keep Hyatt benefits through Feb 28, 2027. Delta announced its own Hyatt elite deal on Sep 9 with no terms yet.
