Having joined OnePass back in '84 (back in the days when an upgrade was a $10 bill at the gate per segment), I didn't bother with any hotel program until 2003.

Starting with HHonors for the first year and then switching to MR in late '04.

So in approx 3 years I am only at >250 nights, Plat since mid '05, and right at 900,000 pts.

The stay pattern says points = No Problem, nights = No Problem, but 9 more years???, egads!
