Minimums for Hotel Stay hits

Unlike last year, where any number of points from a hotel got you a hit (Thank you, SPG restaurants.), US Airways is requiring a 200 mile minimum.  At hotels that give miles per $ spent, this creates a potential problem for mattress runners.  Thanks to lowfareair's thread on Flyertalk, we have easy access for the minimums:

Best Western: Any stay earns 250 miles

Carlson: Any stay earns 250 miles at Country Inns & Park Inn, 500 miles at Park Plaza and Radisson

Choice: Any stay earns 250 miles

Hilton: 500 miles per stay (fixed miles) at all except Hampton, Homewood, and Home2, which require $200 (variable miles).  Check to see whether fixed or variable miles work better for you

Hyatt: Any stay earns 500 miles

IHG: $100 most brands, $200 Staybridge & Candlewood (two points per dollar, one point, respectively)
La Quinta: Any stay earns 250 miles, they might also allow points on third party website bookings such as Expedia.  This one's a big "maybe."

Marriott: $100 (Marriott brand and better), $200 (all mid-tier and lower brands)

SPG: $100, or $67 for Platinum Members

Wyndham: $100, or any stay at a Wyndham Hotel or Wingate (these chains are 500 per stay)
