From my experience as a Guest it depends on what type of system the hotel uses internally and how it interfaces to MARSHA. When changing from Gold to Platinum myself the hotel I stayed at frequently at that time did not have me as Plat the very next day after the status changed, however acknowledged my new Plat-Status the following stay five days later - both booked before I became Plat and with no interference of mine. So obviously whatever in-house-system they use it is directly connected to MARSHA and updates status on existing reservation as they change within MARSHA.

And as said a colleague of mine had a totally different experience this year with being greeted as Gold even though he made Platinum three month' prior...
