I'm definitely not complaining. It's a bit of a moot point requalifying for platinum since I expect to get RA again this year, but it took three stays this year to get my 60k. My last stay earned 18k points.

I'm also in the same boat of wondering how everyone is not platinum. Even just earning half the points with a couple promos you can be platinum in 5 or 6 stays.

The occasional free breakfast and upgrade is good enough for me from something so easy to get. It really would be nice to have a non IC level above Platinum though. PC diamond perhaps? Maybe 150k or 250k points? That would start requiring at least a respectable number of stays.
