Also if I'm on a gold challenge and hit 9 stays will I be upgraded to platinum?
I think the status will update when your last qualifying stay posts to your account, so odds are it won't be available for your check-in that evening. However, doesn't hurt to mention it at check-in on the Sunday eve in hopes the hotel does offer Gold bennies.

I think you'll only get Gold if you're on a Gold challenge even if you get 9 stays. You might want to call MR CS & see if they can switch you to a Plat challenge.

Cheers.
