What shall we give up to obtain these points and status?

So you'd want to give up roughly $1000-$2500 actual US dollars per year (or more when you factor in the lost DC) in exchange for a smattering of hotel points? I get that it'd be nice to have, but what would you really be getting in return? A handful of free nights a year and the occasional decent breakfast? Maybe it makes sense for commuters or super junior NB guys who are always on the road, but I'm not sure I see that much value in it personally.

add in the money saved in meals and it only gets better. Benefits from status such as 4pm check outs is even nicer. Just because you don’t agree with someone doesn’t mean you should start in with the insults. Maybe make an attempt at a reasonable reply or just move along.

What you value and what I value may be different. I easily save that $1-$2k a year with points and meals using them for hotels. These points would be well over 300k a year for someone who stays 100 nights a year at a marriot. That’s about five nights at the ritz per year.

Some say commuting is a choice. I don't necessarily believe that at all times. What I do believe is that commuting is a benefit that comes with some sacrifices - spouses career, family, lower costs of living, etc. Don't ask me to sacrifice for your benefit.
