Do any hotel chains base their membership tiers on overall nights stayed as opposed to nights per year? Just a long-shot I guess, in case I've missed something...
P.S. In the cruising world you also get some cruise lines requiring repeated travel, but some do offer lifetime tiers without any time constraints...
Hyatt, Marriott, Choice and some other programs have lifetime elite tier status earning possibilities. But given my experience with airline lifetime elite status and what hotel loyalty programs have done, my suggestion is to take a more transactional approach and discount the value of lifetime elite status since the benefits can be diluted over time; and the lifetime status earning possibility can be pulled even if you were to be just on the cusp of reaching the previously understood target.
