Just kidding…… Ok, I’ll play devils advocate.

If you stay 25 nights, above and beyond the 75 it takes to make PLT, and you average 2100 points per night (which is about my average, but then I’m a cockroach and we go cheap) then if my math is right you will have 52,500 more points. Guess what? The stay anytime award for one night at C-7 hotel anywhere in the world is ……….52,500 points.

Your problem is solved.

Now with devils hat off. I agree with you. I’m on track to give Marriott about 140 nights this year. More than likely I will go for a higher status at Hilton or try to keep my status at *wood. There is no real reason to give Marriott all those nights. My personal preference would be some sort of roll over program, say all nights over 100 counting towards next years status. Maybe even a guaranteed suite upgrade certificate that I could use on an award stay with Ms l4pi.

You’re on the right track though………
