If someone became Titanium in 2020 with 100+ night how many nights will that account receive as part of this campaign?
Assuming the member started the year either as Base/Silver/Gold/Platinum member.
If you start the year with Platinum status (50 night), you'll get 25 night credits already. So you'll need to work hard to earn 50 more credits to reach Titanium.

So basically it makes it easy to maintain current status, but making it more challenging to reach the next level. This is the difference of what Marriott is doing. If Marriott follow Hyatt to reduce elite requirement by 50%, then we only need 38 night credit to reach Titanium. This makes is so easy to reach. So Marriott makes it harder....
