We too have a shared document with all of the passwords and such, but ours thankfully is much easier. We're both, for the moment, only CO and HH whores.
He has become a SPG point whore. He jumped all over a deal one of the Sheratons in NYC is running for Auto Show attendees that offers triple Starpoints. He was even more excited when I reminded him that that particular hotel is giving the bonus 500 points per night, in addition to the regular 500 points per night, as part of the Night After Night promotion. That means he's getting triple base points, plus 1,000 bonus points per night for that stay. He was quite thrilled with that… and now he's lusting after SPG elite status.

This coming from the guy that two years ago was telling me "I don't really care about nice hotels — just give me something that's clean and affordable."
