What a bummer. I did the online chat with a MR agent and discovered that my Taste of Gold challenge ended June 30. That means I can't do the platinum challenge until next year July 1! I'm bummed because I didn't ask for this challenge... It was just given to me and during a low travel time. I will make gold here shortly but getting another 25 nights for platinum is unlikely. I had hoped to try the challenge next March before a sequence of stays. Has anyone successfully argued getting the challenge prior to the one year mark when the taste of gold was just given and not requested? I barely knew what it was when it came in the mail...
