NEW level of Marriott elite status?????
I just received an email from Marriott about a new elite status level...it was instantly recalled. The email showed up, but none of the links worked and by the time I could get back into the message it was gone. I took this screenshot.
Something about a new Marriott elite status level called Titanium..has anyone heard of this??? did anyone else get this email?
edit: not sure how to get the picture bigger but it reads:
"Introducing a new level of recognition! Beginning in March 2015, earn your way to a new level of recognition at Marriott. Learn more about our new elite status level: Titanium"

Thanks for the foresight and I am not surprised.
It seems that some were clairvoyant and their wishful thinking is about to come to fruition: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...xB9ZiCI4L3_e8g

Why not just make PP worth something?

Are you sure it was an email from Marriott, and not a description of a recent Modern Family episode?

Love MF. Took me a few seconds, 60, 61, 62, damn it!!!!
If true, you would think PP would be it moved to it. Then it would be the year I don't qualify!

Whats interesting is that email recall really doesn't work across the internet. Only within certain email systems.

Seems like Diamond would be a better term.

they better change the 50/75 night requirement then ... maybe 30 for Gold, 50 for Platinum and 75 for Titanium?
Sounds silly to me if true.

Why? What's your thinking on this? It doesn't make sense to me that they would add a level to only retrofit the people who already qualify, but it does make sense to add an additional level for those who stay 100 or more nights per year, but you must have some thought behind this that I'm missing. Please share.

I say if you are going to make these categories mean something the ditch the "roll over nonsense" and go 50 gold, 75 plat and 150 "whatever" ...

Much more important than speculating on the metal and nights required, what could possibly be left as real tangible benefits for the new level? PP carries nothing except an annual $20 gift.
More points, Guaranteed Suite upgrades, benefits (like breakfast) extended to resorts? Unlikely, IMO.
If they are going to publish a new level, there has to be a hard qualification target unlike PP.
This could also be backlash from minting too many elites via rollover nights and Gold giveaways and perhaps reducing Gold benefits like lounge access as many have predicted.
Really odd on that email recall. Exists within Corporate systems, never heard it was possible with POP3 internet email. Its not April 1st, is it?
