As it is, the program is half-hearted in its benefits, so maybe does more harm than good. I have recently decided not to upgrade at two properties, Hampshire and Las Vegas, that have such a dizzying array of room categories that I didn't see the point in upgrading from one low category to another. (For example, in Vegas the upgrade was to the same room type, but with a Las Vegas Strip view instead of a desert view -- I actually prefer the desert view, even for no cost, so saw no need to burn an upgrade.)

Like others, I have upgrade points piling up that I will likely never use. I agree that making them stackable would be a relatively low-cost fix that would significantly improve the program.
