At the mid-year point this year, I am at 34 nights and 44,933 base points. I have stays that will get me to 60 nights and beyond. Not sure if I will make 100k base points, but that's irrelevant if I qualify on nights.

What is more important to me is that I will hit Lifetime Dia--I mean Glob by the end of this year or early next year. My strategy is to then diversify towards Marriott/SPG and go for Marriott LT Gold. I currently stand at 788k LT points with Marriott, and without very much effort over 10-12 years. LT Silver is 1.2M (not worth much), but LT Gold (1.6M) currently has interesting benefits. I figure with a little effort, I could hit that mark in +/-5 years. The Marriott footprint provides more options for point-based vacations...
