Which is Unobtanium status for most.

Meanwhile, my LTP post-takeover stays have been better than my T stays, even with LTP status.

And now with this posted to my account, my status treatment was never better than that as a Westin Gold. And I'll never be LTT. Maybe things will improve in early 2024, when I revert to a lowly LTP.
