It's likely tied to how the Promo is structured in terms of 1 ENC for each brand, I assume they will do one sweep once the promo is done as opposed to having to validate stay by stay that you haven't been credited for the brand previously.
I've if "earned " Titanium but it's not yet reflected in the account then I'm not earning "all those points ". In fact, I'm losing 25% of the points and other benefits. Benefits i will get by staying at the other chains where I have status. Ergo, they're encouraging me NOT to stay with them.
