My attitude would be go for it and god bless you. Checking in 25 times to a cat 1 property just to get status isn't going to happen in a great % even amongst FTer's. The prevalence of cat 1's is slim to none in the US anyway. Go to Indonesia and hotel hop in Cat 1's isn't my idea of fun or a good use of time, unless you are local.
The above scenario is so remote spg isn't worried about it obviously. I don't see this degrading benefits much at all IMO.
