Not even close. I used to charge $500/mo in meals & hotels, but that ended once I got CSR with 3x points on travel and restaurants.

I got started late and did not initiate the status match with Hyatt until Feb 28. So far no change when I log onto MLife account.

Needless to say I'm pretty happy as the lounge access is a big deal on family trips. Will miss the 4 upgrade certs that I got when I used to be Diamond but you can't have everything.
