Paul:
pdb1: Ed . I gotta ask . At this point . What motivates your consecutive days played ? Is it just because you can ?
My streak started back on January 13th of 2013. It started when I understood that levels for clubs (I was a Level 20 Amateur at the time) were just as important as the credits it took to buy them. So I made some spreadsheets and set the gears in motion to know exactly when I would be at the level to buy the clubs and how many credits per day I had to generate to be able to afford them. I made a plan all the way up to L91 (the top of the line clubs at the time) and has continued since. Dang, do you know how frustrating it was when I saw they had introduced a Level 103 R-1 driver and I was 4 months away????
To be brutally honest a secondary [maybe primary] motivation was that I was the newbie in The Peoples Club - joining it on the 5th of January of 2013. One of the senior members said she would gift me the L31 R-11 driver when I got to L31 - so by golly by gosh I had to get there ASAP!
So, to a certain extent the answer to your question currently Paul is indeed "Yes - it is just because I can." BUT by golly by gosh if WGT offers a super wedge set at Level 110 I do not want level 110 to be three years away instead of April 5th....
While at times I kind of did go out of my way that was not very often. One time I actually drove to a nearby coffee shop that I knew had wi-fi for the sole purpose of playing one hole for each of 2 days on my laptop, ordered a coffee and played one hole for each of 2 days and left without having a sip of coffee.
PS - I do not consider booking hotels that offer free wi-fi while on vacation going out of the way - if they do I can play one hole on either my laptop or my cell phone. Nor do I think booking a flight earlier in the day so you get in in time to play is really going that far out of the way.

As a matter of fact now that I think about it . I'm right on your trail .
Not .
At the moment I am at 4,424,255. personal XPs - many players have lots more. I have 1,964,305 CC XPs and I am not in first place in our CC....
There is not any real motivation to get a level 19 CC up to level 20 sooner rather then later but even when playing one hole a day - I still use my free pass - why not?

PS On edit:
pdb1: If someone doesn't want to be put on the spot . I
don't push it . I am sure Ed is fine with my post Al .
Of course I am fine with your questions and I even answered them :-)
