Seriously, elite status is enough to keep loyalty. In response to all the SUPER ELITE people - I understand the concern over dilution of benefits. To all the barely SUPER ELITE people who might lodge the same complaint - get over yourselves! The simple fact is there are relatively very few true SUPER ELITE members who deserve exceptional rewards but it's not likely necessary to keep them loyal - the rewards as they are were enough to win that loyalty in the first place. What the bonus nights have done is really WIN the loyalty of many more - that doesn't make them less deserving than all the other barely super elite members. I've switched to Marriott and this was the purpose of such a promotion -- They've WON a great number more paid nights from me that would normally go to the other chain. Congratulations Marriott on a brilliant promotion. Keep up the good work What rewards are available while you’re gaining your elite status at the other chain???

Your weblog is indeed great to look over, pretty enjoyable as well as informative. I will definitely recommend it to my pals. Yet, I did have a certain amount of difficulty with commenting. It kept giving me an problem when I tapped on publish comment. Hopefully, that can be resolved. Many thanks! This is certainly my first stop by and I really like what I’m seeing.

After an exhausting week of teaching and being away from home so much, a complimentary spa treatment would really make a really nice perk for the the super status tier: Deep tissue massage, and pedicure and reflexology. If a program were to offer that, I would never leave.
