I will be starting a new job before long that involves a lot of travel and they use Marriott. I have been a Hilton Diamond for the last 4 years so I will be starting over from scratch. I’m hoping to get Plat by years end. After that I won’t have any problem retaining Plat when I have a full year to do so.

My my thought is to get the credit card to get the 15 night credit. Then once I make gold do the Plat challenge. Is that the best way? I am assuming that there is no quick route from Silver straight to Plat?

Thanks all all for the help!

The quickest is/was Platinum Status in Eight Days and $800 - No Stays Required.

There is debate right now if this is an option after the merge of the programs on 8/18, but you have time now.
