FYI - called Marriott Rewards yesterday to inquire about a status match or platinum challenge. CSR said she had to ask a supervisor. Placed on hold while CSR talked to supervisor. CSR came back and told me such a program didn't exist.
Called back today and asked to be enrolled in a Platinum Challenge. CSR typed away for about 10 seconds and then told me I was enrolled. Don't see any indication on my account yet, but hopefully I'm enrolled. Should be able to do the 18 nights pretty easily.
Edit: My account was updated to Platinum status within a day or two and I have until Dec 31 to complete 18 nights to keep it.
