AMEN sister. Seeing as most travel is on my own dime, I become more and more convinced that hotel status is not worth it to a person who pays their own way (some isolated cases I'm sure but for the avg Joe it isn't worth it) and I will probably go back to my old signature of "priceline rules".

I will come clean about my "need" for airline status though, I'll cross million miler status sometime this year so I can't say that I'm cutting ties completely with status.

I'm becoming less and less enamored with the travel itself, I love being at the destination but no longer get the thrill of while traveling to the destination.

So to the OP, I think you'll enjoy spending time with your sig other, I know I am but YMMV
