After my numerous previous posts about this topic, I have a question that I just thought about, which is probably a dumb question..But here goes..
I was Silver and took the Taste of Gold Challenge in 2011 was able to achieve Gold for 2012. Now I am in the Platinum Challenge in 2012 trying to get Platinum for 2013. If I don't get Platinum, do I go back to Gold, or do I go back to Silver like I was before I took the Taste of Gold Challenge? I will most likely not get enough stays for the rest of this year to be "officially" Gold per the Marriott website...
