We'll miss y'all who are leaving.

I mean that sincerely and selfishly - hopefully the drop in elite Marriott members won't reduce concierge lounge hours.

Personally, I've now given up on the dream of lifetime AA Plat. But I'll stick with Marriott over AA. There still isn't any other hotel chain that matches the value of points to the client that plays all of the angles. Hyatt beats the pants off of Marriott on upgrades, but Marriott beats the pants off of Hyatt on points, as at least some of us understand.
