I have been a Hilton Honors Diamond member for a few years and I am having to switch to Marriot because I have been assigned to a long-term (1year) project and part of the terms are we would stay at the Marriot, beacuse they own some percentage of the hotel or somthing and get a ridiculous rate ($110/nt).

Anyways so will Marriot match my status?
Are there any current promos that i need to sign up in order to gain status quickly?

Any other helpful stuff that i should about Marriot Rewards?
