tudorcity,
Thanks for the support. And you're right, I AM planning to have more stays at both chains this year due to the better benefits. In that respect, Hilton's and Starwood's Gold promotions did their job, they're getting more revenue from me.
As for MoreMiles raining on my parade... not even close! I NEVER let people whom I do not know nor respect bother me, especially uptight idiots.
MoreMiles: If this bugs you, that's your problem--go ahead, waste your time and post as many replies and you want--you know what I think of your opinion.
Thanks again, FT'ers.
