By my calculations, if you are granted silver status you will only need to stay an additional 15 nights before reaching gold (25-10). [Emphasis added.]
That emphasized language is
exactly what I am saying, because that is the rule. Several other posters upthread have said the same.

Being granted Marriott
BONV°Y Silver Elite status does not,
not,
NOT automatically come with ten Elite Qualifying Nights (EQN)!
