TrojanHorse,
You mention that you are "top tier in the big four and Marriott is the one I obtain last as its the first one I'd drop if I had to miss out on one chains top tier status." Would you be willing to "rank" and compare the big 4 that you have top tier in and let us know how you evaluate the programs? Would find your feedback very informative and helpful in deciding where to concentrate stays for 2005.

Thanks
TF
