I have been at it for 7 year and have about 500 nights, but lifetime points is only around 350K or so.
Perhaps, but points are a LOT easier (and cheaper) to accumulate than nights! I am picking up 75K in bonus points alone during 1Q of this year.

Do you have to stay in RI, or do you just like them? That is where I lost a lot of points, too - because I liked them, and never thought through the "cost" of a 50% reduction in points.
