Exactly. And that's the purpose of my post. I wonder what others might have done differently, and if I'll have more quasi-regrets. I did plenty "right." So, I don't need to turn back time on that. I don't even regret not wasting thousands of dollars for Marriott LTT when I had a few weeks of window to do so (as I was already SPG/MR LTP).
