I recently "stayed" at a Radisson to collect 10,000 UA miles, only going to the room long enough to collect the shampoo and other amenities.
I have been to CLT well over 100 times, but never even crossed through security.
If I can't get an upgrade, I don't really need to go there and have changed destination many times accordingly.
I have taken 3 trips on 3 airlines on 1 weekend to avoid the Sat night stay rule on 2 of them just to obtain maximum miles.
And most embarassing, I have never been on the Concorde, and don't want to, despite having more than enough miles, because the flight is too short to enjoy the pampering of a real 1st or biz class!!
