This directly says that SPG Golds that got Marriott Gold status through linking will be Platinum in August. It goes on to encourage people to link their accounts to make sure they can take advantage of this.
Zachary, what is the source of the above?
EDIT: nm I found it. AusBT and they are basing it on conversations with APAC head of loyalty. TBH the response from Marriott appears to be pretty clearly pointing to Marriott Gold members getting Platinum in August, regardless of how they achieved Gold - as long as they are Gold before August 1st. I think that is actually what the SVP in the video this thread is based on was saying but he kinda fumbled and made confusing contradictory statements.
