Platinum (7 Elite nights)
Congratulations, you have renewed at Platinum Elite status for 2011.
I've shifted my stays this year to Hilton hence only 7 nights at MR (long story). But why does it say Congratulations and 2011? Never seen that before. They are saying 'congratulations and goodbye'? Just wondering what does it mean
This may not be the case necessarily, but I also saw a message like that for one day about a month ago, and when I called MR yesterday (to initially ask about doing the Gold Challenge since I was slated to lose Gold status with only thirty-something nights), the rep told me that I will be Gold (i.e., maintain my status) through Jan2013. He told me that corporate reviews usage and also looks sometimes at the past 3 years and grants status based on that sometimes (even when you don't necessarily reach that status). So, it may or may not be that, but it's probably worth a call to MR to check!
