Thanks -- I didn't know that. I don't have one but I will -- presumably the EQNs will post long before the end of the year if I apply now?

That would really make it easy.

Really appreciate all the great info that I'm getting here!

I never stayed at Marriot properties all that much until this year so I never bothered to learn much about the program. Looks like Gold is now a no-brainer and well worth-while.
