I echo your feelings. Unfortunately FT isn't the place it was 10-20 years ago. Mostly attributed to the popularity of the internet since the early 2000s and the swamp of "nomad members". I have at least 10 FTers I count as my closest friends as have in fact done any of what you said over the years.

And yeah, the second portion of your statement is also true.

You're planning to pay for 30 nights at a hotel you won't be staying at? So that means you won't be using your status at all. Why do this in the first place?

I get the point to doing a little top up but this sounds rather misplaced.

Can you share on how to do the negotiation? Does it involve contacting the hotel and not actually staying? If you do not mind sharing. It will be my 1st mattress run. sorry for the ignorance.

Im also interested! I’ve had a few long stays in the past and potentially a few more coming up, but they’ve all just been booked a at publicly available rates. If there’s some “normal” way to negotiate for better rates or terms then that would be very helpful to know about.

I'm using a good portion of my stay, but I might chase this promo even if that weren't the case. $2000 for 30,000 points, a $100 gift card, a cat1-4 cert, a cat1-7 cert, four suite upgrade certs, and Globalist until February 2023? I have pretty high hopes for our return to travel - but even if next year is somehow another near total loss, I think I can make it worth my while in just 2022 alone.

Lucky you I guess. There are simply way too many bad people out there these days.
