Thanks very much for the two responses above. It seems absurd they would put an arbitrary restriction in like that simply because I completed more stays before the merger. It’s rewarding loyalty in reverse. And it actually seems simpler IT-wise to simply hand out the SNAs to all newly-minted plats, so it’s a terrible excuse if Marriott goes that route.

I will read that thread and perhaps reach out to the spg lurker. I hate chasing things down with Marriott, even when it’s blatantly obvious what needs to be corrected they always make it nearly impossible to fix. I guess we’ll see what happens, but I think it’s pretty clear I’m entitled to those suite nights both per the plat premier benefits list and simple common sense.
