Fair enough, I did write in the article the Goldpoints plus gold elite requirement as 20 stays or 40 nights which was incorrect. It should have read 35 nights.

That basic error did not affect any of the article calculations or analysis that was based on hotel stays, not nights for goldpoints plus.

Thanks for pointing out the goldpoints plus elite qualification error. Fortunately I saw this thread today.

Trust, but verify is what I practice when I read.

That is why I tend to show all my calculations in my Loyalty traveler analyses. I am a one man blogger, not a machine, and without a team of reviewers. I rely on readers to point out my errors.

Thank you.
