Count me as another one who will not stay at RI. I did when I first started all my stays and was young and naive and didn't realize that FT was there to show me the way. But as soon as I looked at the terms and saw it was only 5 points, I left and haven't been back. There are too many other places (Marriott and non-Marriott) that offer most of the same things, that I need, as does RI and still offer full points.
