It would make sense to me if I could hit top tier, but I do not fly enough on a single airline or alliance for that to happen.
Same boat.

If I'm in J/F, it's because I paid for it.

The thought of playing the 'upgrade game' on a 15 hour flight to HKG from the States, and getting stuck in coach.....don't even want to think about that. Plus, I travel long haul with my wife. Makes the upgrade game 2x harder.

Hotel status pays, IMO, although I don't go out of my way to stay at certain hotels bc of status/brand.
