So how does it help you? Unless you need it to reach Titanium. Even with 40 nights from credit cards were not going to push ourselves to stay even 30 nights with Marriott to need the 5 EQNs for Titanium. We're perfectly fine with lowly Plat status for the ~15 or maybe 20 nights we'll do with them, and if we want to rather stay at a Hilton or Hyatt or boutique hotel then we do that without batting an eyelash.

Side question: Is the lifetime nights tracker updated already? I almost never bother looking at it so I don't remember what it was at the end of 2023. Just want to know if the 40 nights from this year are already counted in.
