Thought I would point out, if you earned it based on the rolling year (and not via challenge etc.) you will be platnum until 1/30/08.
What I have generally done in cases like this, is go and "earn" the status at *wood during the 6 months of "Freedom" for those times when there is not a Marriott where I am going. When I say 6 months of freedom, I mean that no matter how much or little you stay for the next 6 months, it will not affect your status. But come January, you would want to be back earning to requalify.
