Seriously? Your post is not helpful to the OP. For the most part, hotel loyalty programs change at glacial speed.
There's the one-off, like Starwood's major revamp which improved their program or Hilton's huge point devaluation so that Blackrock could wipe a lot of liability off the books prior to the IPO.
Your post is akin to, 'why save for retirement? Who knows how much money I'll need to live on in 15 years and how long I'll live in retirement?' Going through life with no plans leads to poor results.
