Looks like the theory that Marriott would deny PPE status to people who had LTPP or had done the challenge has well and truly bitten the dust.
Not quite true. 2017 Marriott Challenge platinum still showing platinum with 46 nights this year.
Called MR and rep told me that because of the challenge I technically only earned gold status and they bumped me up to platinum. I said that I was platinum last year and all of this year and that that all the materials stated that platinums would be mapped up to PPE. She said they only way to map to PPE is to stay 75 nights. I protested and said that wasn't what the materials said before the merger but she said she asked a supervisor and they told her the same thing. I'm waiting for a supervisor to call me back.
