I was carefully following my status this year, from silver to gold to platinum. The status level gets updated before the number of nights does. You'll see in a day or two that your status stays silver, but the number of nights goes to 11. And then it's only 39 more nights until gold!

I had actually called up in April asking about a challenge. I already had over 30 nights, and I thought they might do something for me, as I was obviously going to make gold and platinum. After being on hold for a while, they said no. I obviously should have called back.
