Earned? Or do you mean “stayed”? I just earned a ton of Marriott points that will eventually be a certain number of free nights, but until I actually book and stay, I don’t know how many. And I bought a bunch of Hyatt points and used them for award nights… hardly free nights, but they are award nights, so do they count? Then again, award nights booked with points from credit cards aren’t actually free either…
I am not trying to parse words here, but when I just went through the settings, I figured it simply meant how many nights per year I am staying in a hotel, and went with that. Seems to be a more meaningful metric, to be honest.

And I would have no idea how to estimate that. So it becomes a meaningless number, and I would just skip it.
Now, if you will excuse me, I have to count the number of countries I have visited. Do airport layovers count?
