YMMV
This worked for me... I mentioned that I would be willing to stay at Marriott hotels 3 nights/week for the next 10 months if I was bumped from nada to Gold... and was promptly bumped to Platinum. However, I emailed the specific hotel's Sales Director, not Marriott Customer Service - that probably makes a difference.
