When many of us started down the path to lifetime, rates were frequently $100/night or less and status was 2000 nights (more than 5 years!) away. Now there's multiple reports here and elsewhere of earning LTG in a much shorter period of time due to pricing these days. It's long past time for that threshold to increase.
