Instead of worrying about upgrades on your work stays where all you need is a clean bed/bathroom, why don’t you focus on what that Plat/Tit status can get you when you go on vacation to really cool properties?

I’m on permanent vacation now and choose my trips based on whatever amazing hotels I can find! Even though I have LTT, I’m not one of those who says I’m a free agent now. I actually requalify for Tit status every year to enjoy my status.

(However, now that I have IHG DÍA status, I have to confess, I may not hit my 75 nights for the first time with MAR this year, she says as she writes from the spectacular lounge at the Regent Phu Quoc! None of this “we’re a resort so we don’t have a lounge” BS.)
