I agree that Plat is and should be affoded to those that stay the required nights/stays in *wood properties. Since I have been pregnant this year, we have skipped our vacations and weekends away.. I have not been 'up' to the trips. If there is a way that I can keep Plat through a promo or through a few nights, I would love to. Our travel schedule with both work and personal will be quite full next year and I would love to be able to utilize the Plat benefits - that have been WELL EARNED over the last few years.

If I do not 'get my way' - that is fine too. Gold can't be all that 'bad' - right?

thanks to all on advice, info.
