Carry Over nights, Make Silver or not
Hi all
As a not so experienced CC Gold (got status as shareholder) I have some questions to the renewal of the status.
As some of my projects shifter I have made only 12 nights this year so far. This means I would not even qualify for Silver. On the other side if I understand right I will get the 12 nights rolled over to 2014.
Questions:
- Do I understand right that in case I would make 3 additional nights I would get Silver for 2014 but no nights rolled over so my counter would start at 0 next year?
- If I don't make the 3 nights will they drop me to Silver or straight down to Basic/Red?
- So if I leave it with the 12 I will have 12 nights rolled over and after 3 more nights I would be Silver again and if I even hit 20 more nights (which is likely next year) I would make Gold right? So basically it seems this would be an easier way to make Gold.
- If all of the above is right until when will the Gold Status be valid? Is there any time of the year as of which they will give Gold Status not only for February of the following year but for one more year? Or if you make Gold in December do you really get the Status for only 3 months?
Any help would be appreciated.

You better check on your card as it looks like there is no certain rule on how long a granted status will last.
I was status matched in Oct/12 from Accor Platinum and my Gold status was/is valid 'til Feb/14.
Regarding rollover nights, on late '12 I had 10 nights and none were rolled over.
Anyway, program rules are clear: "Roll Over Nights are any eligible nights earned during each calendar year in excess of those required to qualify the member for their annual elite status qualification tier. Roll Over Nights will automatically be applied toward maintaining or increasing status for the next year. Roll Over Nights only carry forward for one year and expire thereafter."
The good news is there is a "double elite nights" promo going on, check out the forum index, that might help you to keep at least silver in case you were not matched until 2015. There is no "soft landing", you will be dropped straight to red.

I thought the roll over nights only applied to night over elite status qualification ie nights over silver/gold/Concierge status levels... last year when I was gold from status match I had 13 nights they did not roll over to this year...

Interesting. Last year I was silver and have finished only 7 nights and they have been rolled over to this year. That was why I expected to get the roll over nights again.
