Maybe it's just me.....
Yeah, now I get it.
I was thinking about it, and the guys I know who were comped w/ Plat this year did stay at a lot of Renaisance, full service Marriotts and JW's in pretty high profile cities like London, Dubai and New York, so presumable high daily rates might have been a factor in MR's decision to give them another year of Platinum. It would be nice to know what unpublished criteria, if any, exist in such cases.
