while reading this post, it sure made me glad I'm not in some kind of customer service oriented industry. I think if you're going to scheme like that to get status at least book westin -> sheraton -> westin --> sheraton over there in Bangkok. Walk across the street each day. Sheesh. Doing all that and then asking the front desk if you really have to do it ... dunno... man. Plus BRG each 1 night stay at the same hotel .. sheesh.
