But apart from that, why would you wish to make it tougher to get to be Spire?
its a simple business decision, whilst Spire is so laughably easy to get (e.g. about half of the qualification requirements of Hilton Diamond from stay spend and still backdoir routes to easy status like bonus point packages), then it is hard to compel property owners to seriously recognise Spire guests.
If you truly want Hilton or Marriott style consistent recognition, it’s nit goin to happen when a spend of $7500 or much less gets you “top status”
