Yea I think I am going to do this to make it elite, I saw it yesterday that is simply unbelievable, combine with 750 AA or UA miles per stay, it is way better than BW, Choice, or Wyndham (where is the 3000 bonus AA miles per stay this year ?)

I had switched to the lower class hotel chains just so there is a higher chance to get properties that have smoking rooms.
