I am currently temporary gold due to the Taste of Gold Promo. I have never had gold status before. YTD I have 32 nights credited. July 2008-December 2008 I had 15 nights credited plus 10 nights for the Marriott Visa, which should put me over 50 nights on a rolling year basis. I called the rewards desk yesterday to ask about my gold status and the rep said it would expire on July 31 unless I stay another 6 nights before then.( I have 3 nights credited already for the Taste of Gold Promo). Usually I wouldn't care about the status but I have a 2 week award trip planned to Europe the end of the summer and the gold status would be nice. Is there anyone to call to find out my definitive status. I also received the June 2009 Marriott Rewards newsletter recently which showed Gold Elite Level through 2/28/10- even though it showed only 8 nights YTD credited.
