Almost there for gold but man, this is hard. 2 months ago, I was nada, no points, no prior stays at Marriot - excited as hell when i got silver. Then I got the chills when I realized how much longer it would take to get gold. Now I'm thinking of platinum.

Only thing that sucks is I've read many posts about people who got bumped to a higher status early - not me. The funny part is I had to call Marriott today because they forgot to post my stays for last week.

I wonder if I will get an upgrade on Sunday when I check in with 49 stays instead of 50. :-:
