I always qualify on my airline status by segments, though this year I will qualify for absolutely NOTHING since I'm driving to my destinations rather than flying (flying is just too much of a hassle).

I have already re-qualified (after an initial comp) for Starwood Platinum based on nights, and will probably either make either Hilton Diamond or Marriott Platinum again based on nights, too.

Curious enough this year I might end up having top tier status at three major chains -- Marriott (already have), Starwood (already have) and Hilton (might earn), with only ONE paid flight roundtrip the whole YEAR. Just two years ago I flew 145 segments in one year. What a difference a recession can make
