Nope. You are still "Titanium" in the system for every reservation. Most hotels have zero clue what your lifetime status is and has no way to look it up without spending a bunch of extra time (and we all know how lazy FDAs are).

The fact that you're spending 100 nights in hotels is irrelevant. The poster you quoted was commenting that repeat stays in the SAME hotel may get you better treatment as a Titanium but bouncing around here & there still makes you 'just' a Titanium.

I downgraded myself from AMB (3+ years) back to my Titanium status (also LTT but that's irrelevant) and the change in perks is negligent. I'm not getting any more or less upgrades, FDAs simply fill in the blank with "Thanks for being a ___ elite" differently and off I go.
