The Elite Status Challenge entitles members to one full year of elite status, from one renewal period to the next. If a member is upgraded via the challenge on or before February 28th, 2018, they retain status until February 28, 2019, the following year. If they are upgraded on or after March 1, 2018, they retain status for the remainder of the year, all of 2019, up until February 28, 2020.
I got my platinum status in january 2018 due to status challenge. so my platinum status will be valid until 28 feb 2019.
I have 22 qualifying night as per 28 feb 2018. to get the platinum status extended to 28 feb 2020, i just need to stay at least another 28 nights in 2018 ?
thanks !
SPG Platinum is earned at 25 stays or 50 nights, with perks at 50, 75, & 100 nights. Doing a challenge will get you status earlier, but in your case shorts you a year's status. If you make the required stays/nights, regardless of the challenge, then you will get the additional year of status. All of this notwithstanding any changes that may occur with the final merger of the programs.
