Hotels.com one key cash sucks...

I used to really like the Hotels.com 10pct reward system and this new "one key" BS really sucks. I put up with it until a few weeks ago they quit even displaying the One Key Cash offer on the booking - now it's a total guess if I'll get anything.
What are you using to realize reward benefits for travel? I'm looking to make a move as I spend too much time on the road to get scammed by Hotels.com anymore.

Marriott Bonvoy. I don't mess with third party bookers unless I'm forced to in order to use Amex or Chase points.

This. Why not just use one of the Hotel brand CC OP?

I asked ChatGPT what Bonvoy was supposed to mean (I know how it was derived, but I think it's stupid). Our conversation led here:

You’re not alone. When Marriott launched it in 2019, the internet roasted it like a cheap buffet roast. People said it sounded like a malfunctioning robot trying to say “bonjour,” or a new prescription drug for travel anxiety. Branding folks called it “forced optimism meets committee naming.”
Still, it stuck—mostly because no one wants to keep track of three separate rewards programs. Terrible name, but effective consolidation.

I agree. I used to get a free room after so many booking. Now i just get a slight discount.
I used to only use them for hotels and it was great.

Get a Chase Hyatt card. Hyatt points are a much better value than most other hotel brands.
