Only Marriott Plats have that number if anyone cares to share it with you ...

Most likely Marriott will not status match.

Based on your hotel stay history for the past 12 months and/or your hotel stay plans for the next 12 months, Marriott will offer you a challange:

  • "Taste of Gold" challange which they usually require you to book and stay 12 nights at any Marriott property in the next 3 months or
  • "Taste of Platinum" challange whereby you must spend 18 nights I believe.

Marriott will probably give you the elite status during the 3-months challange period. Also, if you start your challange now and successfully complete it, your elite status will expire on 2/2012. If you request, commence and complete the challnge in 2011, then your status will expire 2/2013.

IMHO, there isn't much difference between Marriott's Gold and Platinum status: more points for plats and hence faster track to lifetime status and a dedicated plat cs number.

Either way the regular Marriott Rewards cs telephone number will suffice to start the process.

YMMV!
