Yep. I thought about that as well and almost posted it. I went from about 1 Marriott stay per year to 59 nights so far. The only downside is that apparently you only get 1 night credit for every three days at the Marriott Executive Apartments, so I'm not sure I will actually re-qualify as Gold on my own. If the apartments gave full credit, I might make Platinum--and would probably push for that, though the difference between Gold and Platinum doesn't seem to be huge.

Anyone know why they cut the credits on the Marriott Executive Apartment stays? The price is still $100+ per night.
