If you've earned it through being matched to SPG Gold through the Amex Platinum then you'll stay at Gold. Annoying for me as I've got Marriott Gold through matching to my SPG card, have made a few bookings at Marriotts for December and January presuming I'd get lounge access and free breakfast as my gold status doesn't expire until February. Alas it seems that this isn't the case unless Marriott makes an exception and honours benefits for existing bookings :-(
