With my second stay under the belt, it looks like Marriott has downgraded me to SPG Gold/ Marriott Platinum from Platinum Premier Ambassador (approaching 2x Ambassador spend limit for the year).

Checked into the fantastic Caresse and received an old SPG Gold keyfob. No upgrade despite the hotel being quite quiet, and no letter from the GM or bottle of wine which were conventional for SPG Plats. My Ambassador is still AWOL, so there’s nobody I can raise this with (if I am in the mood I might call into the general Ambassador line next week). I’m going to do 1-2 more stays, but if I am unable to realise my status I’m going to spend September and October with Hilton where I am at least Diamond.
