As long as you can get constant raises who cares about a promotion? If you got your job nailed down so much you only need to work like 5 hours a week and from home while getting raises I would turn down any promotion.
Promotion are almost always a trap. If you want a better job change companies!
It looks good on your resume when you apply for the next company, and that's how you keep getting raises in today's business environment.
It's one good thing to have on a resume, sure, but another is the skillset itself. For example, I work with a highly specialized software, so I frequently get messaged with interview offers on LinkedIn because I show up every time employers search for that specific software.
