I figured it was a mistake when I received a 2014 Plat card -- I was well below 75 nights (but above 19 nights

and didn't meet the end-of-year plat renew challenge, so I was expecting to drop to gold.
My account overview on marriott.com still shows my number of nights from last year, so it will be interesting to see what happens when they reset the number of nights to zero.
