Speaking as someone with virtually NO elite status.

It seems that comped status is usually a low or middle tier. Just enough to whet the appetite, but not enough to truly displace the highest tier elite.

So if you're the highest tier, comp-mania doesn't impact you as deeply as much as low or middle tiers.

I've received a few comp offers, Hilton being the latest. The out-of-the-way places I travel don't have Hilton (Holiday Inn is consider the "fancy" hotel in these towns), so it was fairly meaningless.
