The Gold or Platinum elite level will expire and if you stay 12 (gold) or 18 (platinum) nights during the 90 trial period (till April 30th) you will be able to keep that status for the rest of the calendar year. I took the Platinum level and might or might not make the full 18 stays, but you get more bonus points and other amenities. Gold level also is great with free upgrade, concierge lounge and internet access, late check out. Anyway just wanted to share this promo with all my fellow FTers.
What?? I had no idea. We could have easily made platinum. I wish I had known about this earlier. Thanks, malkounis!

Anyone know if you can challenge from gold to platinum, or do you have to be silver?
