I asked Marriott for a bump from Gold to Platinum, since I've got enough nights booked to make it by the end of the year. They basically quoted their rules back at me, and told me that I'd have to wait until I had the 75 nights.
It was almost enough to make me give up and switch to Hilton (where I'm also Gold) and try for Diamond there.
