well just happened to log into M.com and another surprise-seems I can buy up to plat with points.

I'm fairly flush with MR points and it seems that with the *enhanced *bonus plan would earn the spend back pretty quickly.


The new company I work for is basically a Marriott shop, though they don't scream if I stay somewhere else as long as it's same\less than $.
We have a good rate with a CY in Sugarland\Stafford TX that is only 3 miles from the office, where I have to go quite often (10x\year)


Wonder if I should just do it, hmmmm....
Since its a CY; plat benefits won't mean a whole lot

i'd call for a plat requal challenge of some sorts.. such as X nights in Y days or flat out ask first since they seem to be giving away plat anyway.. if that is turned down.. then ask for the challenge
