Ha!
I didn't quite smoking or Marriott. In fact, when I stay at my friendly local Fairfield Inn, they usually put me close to an exit so I can dash out for a quick one. No, I don't "cheat" in the room.
It's actually helped me keep the smoking to a tolerable (to me) level.
Back OT: I was plat with 125+ nights on '04 and '05 - in '06 I dropped down to just about 50, even with the Visa card. They gave me plat anyhow. Right now I'll be at 50 by the end of August (with the card) and I have the rest of the year for the next 25, so I should be OK.
That new property in Paris is a powerful draw!
