I am trying to renew my status with SPG for now.
I recall the renewal letter this year stating something to the effect of: In the past we've been generous if you've been close, but this year we are going to require the full nights for status renewal. Did anyone else read this into their renewal info. I didn't keep the letter, but am making sure to stay my 75 proper nights this year.
