I think people are losing perspective here. If you stay 75+ nights/yr, you will always have PP status. If you don’t, it really won’t make much difference. The extra 16% points is inconsequential especially if you aren’t staying that much. People keep fantasizing about “future benefits”. Very few loyalty programs actually get enhanced.
The same is true for all the billions of "people" who are not yet born or even not yet conceived, plus all of their descendants.
