MilesBuzz! - "Point Psychology" profile

Priority Club has an interesting, if somewhat silly, quiz to "analyze your point-earning practice". Once you've taken the quiz, the "Point Psychologist" will tell you what kind of point player you are, and give you advice as to which programs are best for you.

For what it's worth, it says I'm a shepherd ("Miles are your mania. Double and triple miles, miles earned through credit cards -- the Shepherd is a mile junkie...While extremely loyal to a preferred airline, you are one of the least loyal to a specific hotel or rental car company..."). Pretty accurate assessment, for a simple quiz http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif.

Edited to correct typos -- why can't I find them before I click submit?

Well, the website verified what many here at Flyertalk have known for ages:

I am a Snob!

You deserve recognition. A room with a view, first class seats -- the Snob is different from the common “riff raff” traveler

Snob Profile:

You live for luxury and special treatment, a “club level” room and private check-in. Targeting recognition programs more than loyalty programs, you prefer to earn perks and services rather than points or miles. Opportunistically loyal, you frequent hotel companies with upscale properties and regular delivery of upgrades.

Upon arrival, you expect to be greeted by name and have your individual preferences maintained on file. As a snob you are a status-seeker who well-connected and never misses an opportunity to “network.”

You want special favors from a hotel or airline because you are an “important guest.” Although you may check in after a hotel restaurant closes, you expect a sandwich or snack anyway. Similarly, a late flight booking still warrants an aisle seat or upgrade for the snob.

I'm a swinger (won't my wife be surprised) http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

- "You understand the value of earning in two different “currencies” – miles for airline tickets, points for free hotel nights and merchandise."

Swinger http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif here too

Ha ha -- that was pretty good...

You are a Sherlock!

You’re the true game player. Seeking the best bonus, digging for special offers – the Sherlock wants the “biggest bang for his buck.”

Sherlock Profile:
As a true gamer, you are in constant search of the best bonus promotion. Triumphing with the discovery of each new deal, you are more motivated by the game of earning than the redemption.

Unpredictably loyal, you are a member of every loyalty program. Hotel and airline choice is solely determined by the current field of promotions. A trip without points or miles is a waste of time for you, you feel cheated by the inability to earn.

As a sherlock you are so motivated by earning the best deal, you will return to a hotel where you have had a negative experience if the bonus offer is an incredible one.

I'm a "shepherd."

Kind of odd, since I don't own any sheep.

I was a stasher. With the balances I hoard, I thought that it is what I would be.

I thought I'd be a swinger but apparently I'm a Sherlock. It does fit...

I'm a shepherd. And get your own sheep, I'm not sharing this one =)

Some of you will get the joke, others will not. It's one of those jokes that has to be told in person.

Swinger, too. But hold the merchandise, please.

It says I am a snob,

Snob Tips:
Opt for programs that count points toward Elite status, not just nights or stays. This will help you achieve Gold and Platinum levels faster.

Choose a program with complimentary arrival perks like upgrades and special check-in lines.

Look for guaranteed room availability. Some programs will absolutely guarantee a room to its Platinum members, even if the hotel is sold out. Just make sure you make reservations within 72 hours prior to arrival.

It, however, is wrong. I am not a snob and never, never, ever wear my tiara while traveling. (Well, hardly ever) http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Yet another snob!!!

Of course all FT'ers already knew that http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

I am a "Slacker"???

Yes, it actually said that. OK, now I'm convinced... Mrs. pdjc is the designer of this quiz.

Geez...

Hmmm...I'm a Sherlock.
Wonder if Glen Tilton would be a Shylock?

(problem fixed)

I'm a snob too - I was quite surprised!

Stasher here....

Guess that's pretty accurate...I've got 1.7M
miles/points in all combined programs.

A slacker.

Obviously, I don't belong on FT. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

WOW --- a "swinger" after all these years!! Who Knew?? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/cool.gif

I am a Capricorn!

I just took that silly test too and i am a "Sherlock". Which I knew! Just ask my ex-wife who called me "The ultimate scammer" But that was before she took her broom and rode into the sunset with 2/3rds of my assets.

Q: Why do divorces cost so much??
A: Because they are worth it!!

Happy Scamming everybody

Says I am a Liar. Imagine that!

(However, my employees love me and think I walk on water.)

I'm a swinger!

Not to pick nits friend and neighbors but Mystic Island (aka Mistake Island) is about 5 miles off the Garden State parkway exit number 58. Atlantic City is Exit 38. Door to Door from my houe to ACY is 28 miles. Thanks for asking. Don't worry she spent all of my money while we were married! 2/3rd of Squwat is Diddley Squwat! And that's what she got!! They say that marriage is a 3 ring circus.
1. Engagement Ring
2. Wedding Ring
3. Suffering

I'm a swinger
Who would have thought...
