No, i will likely be losing my status since i no longer travel for business(though i feel like i saw that there may be a way to buy back status?). I do plan on booking with points and there isnt a huge difference. The 57 is 30k cheaper for the stay and the Ren and JW are the same price.
Of the 3, which has a better location?
ETA: actually, i just checked and apparently have lifetime gold status. My account still says platinum but i didnt have many stays last year so i assume i will get dropped down to gold.
