I recently (10 days ago) asked Priority Club (via customer service email address) to match my Starwood Platinum status. Often I stay in smaller cities/towns where there is no Starwood, but there probably is some sort of Holiday Inn.

PC asked for proof in a fax or email. I emailed my "recent activity" and cut and pasted my summary from SPG.com. THAT was the hardest part--here's a hint, cut and paste, and then change the font color to black to see what you've pasted.

A week later my request was granted for the rest of 2007. BUT, to qualify for 2008, I must start from zero and have to make the same requirements as a person that signed up for PC on 1/1/2007. I have a pending request to grant my status through 2008 or to cancel the original request. We'll see what happens.
