I'm in the process of switching from Starwood (where I'm a plat) to MR; I have just logged my 9th night in 2006 and have a 10th night stay in 2005. What is the fastest way to get them to recognize my status change?
I will be spending the next 19 days at Marriotts and would like to get it recognized as soon as possible.
I didn't bother trying to get comped status and will be getting the MR Visa sometime this year (I know it's instant silver); I still have and am using the Starwood AmEx. I want to wait a little bit since the free night is only good for 6 mos- I don't have vacation plans for quite a while.

I just converted over to Hertz from Avis, so it's a slow process to get everthing converted over to earning MR points. I do like that Hertz gives 500 MR pts vs 50 Starwood pts at Avis.

Any advice on who/where to call to get recognized Silver ASAP?
