More evidence the hard way to status, across the board, is a suckers game.
The poor salesman has a little advantage over me. While I had to unload ~~ 170k USD from my own pocket to get all my statuses and maintain them, sometimes making unnecessary vacations with even more extra spending just to "finish" the yearly renewal without access to US credit cards, poor salesman kept dealing with all these Holiday Inns from his employer's pocket.
Would swap places any day.
