Mr. XXX,

Please be aware that there is not currently a status matching aspect in the Marriott Rewards program. Elite levels in the Marriott Rewards program are earned by having the required amount of Elite nights posted to a Marriott Rewards account. I apologize to inform you that our program does not currently have an aspect that rewards members for nights spent at our competitors.

For Silver Elite status you must stay 10 paid nights per year, Gold Status requires 50 paid nights per year, and Platinum status requires 75 paid nights per year.

In depth investigation of every aspect of the Marriott Rewards program shows that it is extremely competitive with other hotel chain programs, when looked upon as a whole. Some of the other programs offer specific benefits at lower night requirements; however, the programs require more nights or stays to earn free nights.

Please visit the following link that explains how you earn free nights with the Marriott Rewards program sooner:

Hopefully, our hotels exemplary service and our Marriott Rewards program will keep our members loyal to Marriott.

Thank you again for your input and we hope that you will continue to stay at Marriott hotels.

Sincerely,

XXXX
ICS
Marriott Rewards
