It's really to bad that Marriot isn't more forthcoming about the challenges. MrMoreMilesPlease started a new job at the end of last year. They had him usuing a Marriot at the site. Being a Hilton Diamond for the last three years he called asking for a status match. He was given Marriot Silver based on his Hilton Diamond. To bad Marriot didn't mention a challenge. He did about 38 nights between October and Decemeber of 2003 in a Marriot. It woukld have been more but we went on vacation during that time. If Marriot had at least given him a challenge he would have stayed there. He decided to move back to Hilton since he had a usable status there and the company was fine with it. Marriot's loss, Hilton's gain.
