I stand corrected - thanks! There are definitely references to "Marquis Platinum" in that thread by people wondering what would happen to them. I remember red/gold/black, and striving for black as (I thought) it was the highest level, which was in '99/00 - the last year of the Marquis program. But apparently, there was another magical level still above me at that time
