well that's what I was kind of getting at with rollover nights. If one year I'm at 120 nights and the next year I'm at 60 nights I can still maintain my platinum status into the next year after that.
50% of my travel is structured and planned. The other 50% of my travel is what I would call "emergency" based, last minute travel that I can't predict or plan on. The beginning of 2012 had one really huge emergency in my department that required me spending 6 work weeks straight in hotels and going home on weekends.... on top of my planned travel for the time which was still required.
