I find the ambassador program beneficial, so I want to hit it again. Wonder if i come in a night or two light if they will throw me a bone due to my spend. Not sure if i want to chance it.
I was in roughly the same situation; on track for 94 nights and $30K spend. Then a last minute business trip brought me to 96, and I decided to take my son to DC for a long weekend to hit 100. I really don’t get the sense they will be lenient in cases where one is short of nights or dollars. It is pretty obvious that the program is massively short staffed and it seems likely to me that they will be pretty aggressive in thinning the herd.
