Hello all - So, I'm an SPG member being converted over to Marriott. I have already earned Lifetime Platinum Elite. Today I received an email telling me that if I stay 750 nights by year end, I'll be aware Lifetime Platinum PREMIERE Elite. Right now I have 700 nights in my account. So.....I'll probably spend about 10 nights for work at one of their properties. Anyone have a suggestion on how I could grab 40 nights without breaking my bank? I thought about calling up a local Marriott or Starwood hotel and seeing if they'll give me a "great rate" for a 40 night stay. On the flip side, I have no experience with Marriott and don't even know if the Premiere level of Platinum Elite is worth whatever I would spend to earn it by year end. Any tips? Advice?
