I'm guessing this will be my only Plat year. I had to creatively come up with reasons to stay at a *wood rather than designated work hotels and even had to move during a biz trip a couple of times. But even then, I still am planning a $69 Four Points reservation on Dec 27 to cement this. At any rate--this is my reason for wanting to maximize next year's enjoyment factor.
Congrats on the promotion, but sorry on going to Gold. I'm sure I will join you at that status in 2007...
