Thanks... so why is it that you (and others) advocate reaching top status and then changing hotel chain?

Isnt it always better to rack up as much points with 1 chain? As an example -- in marriott there is a point redemption that gives 100,000 miles + 7 nights at any of their property (cat 6 - which is pretty good) for 270,000 points... so my intent has been to rack up as many multiples of 270,000 points...

Comments welcome.. thanks again!
