Precisely. I have a
ton of Choice points, and I didn't get to be a Diamond by clipping coupons or laundering miles.

Gross exaggeration. I've stayed at Motel 6 when there's no particular promotion going on at any of my other chains (Hilton and Marriott)to make the price differential worthwhile. I know Motel 6. It is what it is, and that's all it is, but it works.
I've spent much more time in Choice properties and, while the overall 'quality' of the properties varies, they are consistently much more comfortable that Motel 6's.
