I fall into this category. I have yet to lose my Plat Status this year, but I did pay for MORE THAN GOLD stays last year, and I have booked stays and flights based on my Plat Status this year. Marriott will have a battle with me if they pull my status back to Gold in the coming weeks/months. They will also lose all of my business.
I did post about my good fortune earlier in the year, so this is not new territory for me. I'm watching my account on a daily basis. I hope they do what's right (or at least what I feel is right :-) and maintain my status for the year.
