Please feel free to PM us if we can be of any assistance.

This is not what Bonvoy's Terms & Conditions state with a very clear example, which is why I posted the link and the quote.
The mere fact that I am Platinum on January 4th, 2022 should mean that 2022 counts as a Platinum year, regardless of whether I maintain or achieve a higher Elite level during 2022.
I recognise that Marriott is probably ignoring or unaware of its own T&Cs, based on a large number of frustrated Flyertalkers and the explanation you provide.
