Then why do we spend so much money stay at Marriott so many nights a year to meet the requirement of a Gold or Plat member. I could just paid to get what I want when I need (ex: a better room, executive lounge access..etc) with a minimum fee.
Marriott allows anybody to pay to get into lounge, breakfast, better room with a small fee from their website.
I am not sure if it is really worth it if u spend u own money to meet the require of Plat or Gold.
