Any contacts regarding a Stay Challenge offer will be done via email to the Platinum Concierge department. Any member wishing to apply for a Stay Challenge beginning April 1, 2011 can contact them at [email protected] in order to request consideration.

Members will be advised on the full requirements of their Stay Challenge and then contacted to advise if the Stay Challenge has been met. Should a member not successfully complete a Stay Challenge, they may request another once the original Challenge has expired.

Best regards,

Advance notice? It's already April 1, 2011 in parts of the world, and where it is not yet, it will be by tomorrow.

Thanks for the update about status match practices being replaced with fast-track challenges of a sort.
