Since I was dropped to Gold this year I was considering dropping the entire MR program. However, I just opened my welcome to Gold Elite membership and saw that I could get Plat back for 18 nights from 3/1 to 6/1. Factor that in with the 15 night/25K promo which I hope to parlay into a 20 night 30K promo and this is a no brainer.. i love the fact that its nights too as opposed to stays.. Marriott in March here I come.. ^
