I don't think a meeting is an option since I'm on a plat challenge but maybe...
If you’re going to do a few high end properties next year, your strategy makes sense. I noticed you are on a Platinum challenge and IIRC, award stays don’t count in towards the challenge but I would confirm this to be sure.
