For those of you previously turned off of the program, now that Marriott has announced cash & points and reward stays counting towards elite nights, is anyone thinking of pursuing elite status? It seems to me that the biggest incentive is going for lifetime status, particularly gold or platinum.

Well, I have been Platinum for a couple of years. Got it first on a Platinum challenge. I am not going to qualify this year as I have been lured away by Hyatt and have been focusing on Hyatt Diamond. However, I would also be very interested in lifetime status and with the use of points counting for nights, that is a game changer.
