Has anyone calculated the comparative cost/benefit of eking out the lowest level Diamond (which is pretty easy). You still get free rooms. You still can comp your meals/shows on your reward credits, and when used up, you can still ask your host for additional discretionary comps. Since you find the 7 star stuff to be unattractive and/or hard to use, I just wonder if you really benefit from 7 star.
I have done this for several years now since I stopped being a "Player" and I still get offers and rooms and meals and shows etc any time I want. I don't however get the good seats to shows and first priority to special events and little extras that really don't mean anything to me.
Just wonder if it's worth the time, cost, and aggravation, even if you have to spend a few bucks for some things that were previously free.
