I am sure I've read that Golds have been able to change their promos, sometimes, but not that simple, I dont think you have any chance without status, but that 30 day stay seems to me to be your best bargaining chip.

I'd call MR and ask for a taste of Plat challenge, that'll give you Plat membership immediately on condition you stay 16 nights in the following 3 months, which will be a synch with what you've got planned. Then, a few days before checkin call up and explain your position, you should be able to upgrade your megabonus to a nights based one, 15 nights for 20k, 20 for 25k... After all, you're a plat!

Will post an update tomorrow.

Thanks again!

My stay starts in early April and goes through early May. That means I will credit for all the nights I stay in April, correct?
