IMO,that s/b worth Gold status.
And there are people that spend 20k in Courtyards....I know, I'm one of them. I'll venture out and guess that they don't ALWAYS go by the number of nights you stay and that revenue does play a factor in your status.
Take Hertz for example, they want 40 rentals for President's Circle...But they also have a secret criteria for revenue and days rented. It never hurts to call and ask but don't feel mistreated if they choose to stick by the rules. Maybe they will give you a challenge of sorts to get back to gold.
