Or you can just stay in whichever hotel you prefer in a given city and not give a toss about status at all. For example, if I知 in Bangkok I値l stay at the MO. If I知 in Zurich I might stay at the Baur au Lac. If I知 in NY I値l stay at the Mark. I could not care less about points or night credits. I cate about the fact that local staff recognize me and treat me as a repeat guest.
