Exactly. During four years I barely made Titanium, two of those years with the help of a couple of staycation redemption mattress runs.

And the EQNs might come in handy if Marriott ever reinstates lifetime Titanium.

Plus, SNAs do not seem that meaningful to me personally, so I could happily live life without one ever attributed to my name.

This is a moot point now, because for the next seven years, almost all my stays will be in my wife's name, so she can join me as a lifetime Marriott Bonv°y Platinum Elite. 💕

(We are already both lifetime members of the United Club and Admirals Club; our 30th wedding anniversary is in two months; she is six years younger than me; and women generally live longer than men. )
