Holding any lifetime (as long as you're still an owner, I presume) top-tier status definitely alters the math quite a bit. Perhaps more than anything else in this thread. But....I've taken two HGVC promo tours and the salesman didn't mention this. You'd think he'd use it as the bullet to close his pitch, as it's a massive carrot to dangle!!
