Does Marriott give at all on Silver status? I don't travel for business, and I'll probably end up at 8-9 nights but just short of 10 in a calendar year. No,w I know I could just check into a cheap Marriott property for a night or two to get the status, but I don't know that its really that important to me. It IS important enough to type out this message though...anyone know if they will cut me off on January 1, or will I have a little lee-way?
