Your stats match mine: Missed challenge by two nights and had 49 nights for the year. Marriott did renew my Plat status, anyway. I received the new card in the mail along with a clear explanation that this was based on my past stay pattern. (Probably averaged 85 nights/year for the past four years and was averaging about 8 nights/month from Oct-Dec '09.)
