A loyal member would continue to stay with Marriott because Marriott may reward him with Platinum with fewer nights or he can make a plea at least.
Another strawman - you completely ignored my core argument and went straight to - "lurkers provide other benefits!". How does that answer the lie that was fed to us throughout the entire year? When you change the subject, that's a logical fallacy. Do you understand that?
Ad hominem and attacking a poster's staying habits has nothing to do with what we were repeatedly told by a very high up representative of the company. It's best to leave the personal attacks out of this - please. Talking about a person's staying patterns or habits is completely low level garbage (especially since there are 10,000s who have other habits) rather than the true core issue of Marriott being liars
