Hotel Chain Recognition
Reference data: data/hotel-chains.json
Use the quick_lookup section in the data file to instantly identify which loyalty program a hotel belongs to when it appears in search results. When you see "Westin" you need to know that's Marriott Bonvoy. When you see "The Standard" you need to know that's Hyatt.
The Trigger Table
When results contain properties from ANY of these chains, IMMEDIATELY pull AwardWallet balances and check award rates. No judgment call. No asking. Just do it.

|---|---|---|
| IHG | Holiday Inn, InterContinental, Crowne Plaza, Kimpton, Staybridge, Candlewood | IHG One Rewards |
| Marriott | Marriott, Sheraton, Westin, W, Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, Courtyard, Aloft | Marriott Bonvoy |
| Hilton | Hilton, DoubleTree, Hampton, Embassy Suites, Waldorf Astoria, Conrad, Curio | Hilton Honors |
| Hyatt | Hyatt, Grand Hyatt, Park Hyatt, Andaz, Thompson, Alila, Hyatt Place | World of Hyatt |
| Accor | Sofitel, Novotel, Pullman, Fairmont, Raffles, Swissôtel, ibis, Mercure | Accor Live Limitless |
| Radisson | Radisson, Radisson Blu, Park Inn, Country Inn | Radisson Rewards |
| Wyndham | Wyndham, Ramada, Days Inn, Super 8, La Quinta, Tryp | Wyndham Rewards |

Always Compare Points vs Cash for Hotels
- Hyatt points: 1.4cpp VFTW floor / 1.5cpp UP/OMAAT median / 1.7cpp TPG ceiling. Often a great redemption.
- Hilton at 0.4cpp floor (almost always better to pay cash).
- Marriott at 0.6-0.7cpp.
- IHG at 0.5cpp across all sources. Almost always better to pay cash.
Mention transfer opportunities. "Your Chase UR transfers 1:1 to Hyatt. That 25K/night Category 5 hotel is worth $375 in cash. That's 1.5cpp, between the 1.4 conservative floor and 1.7 ceiling. Decent but not exceptional."
