So I think I have less incentive to chase status when I am already elite at competitor.
I get this completely. When you already have solid status, the motivation to chase more just isn’t there.
With Super Flyers on All Nippon Airways and Star Alliance Gold, plus Marriott Bonvoy Platinum, you’re already well covered. Going for JGC Three Star with Japan Airlines sounds nice, but if you’re not flying oneworld much, the payoff may not justify the effort.
The Hilton Diamond match is tempting, but splitting stays during Marriott’s double elite promos can feel inefficient.
At some point, it’s less about maximizing and more about simplifying. If what you have works, comfort wins.
