Mr. xxxx,

Thank you for contacting Marriott Rewards regarding our Elite membership
program.

For Silver Elite status you must stay 10 Elite nights per calendar year, Gold
Status requires 50 Elite nights per year, and Platinum status requires 75 Elite
nights per year.

The Silver Elite level is achieved and renewed based on the number of Elite
nights on your account in a calendar year, January 1st to December 31st.

Initial Elite level achievement for the Gold and Platinum Elite levels is
handled differently. To achieve Gold or Platinum, a member only need stay the
required number of nights in any rolling calendar year. As an example, let's say
that you had 30 nights from September 1st, 2007 to December 31st, 2007 and 45
nights from January 1st, 2008 to September 1st, 2008. As this would give you 75
nights in a rolling year, you would qualify for our Platinum status.

To earn Elite night credit a member must personally stay and pay the hotel
directly for his or her room. If you have more than one room during your stay,
you only earn Elite night credit for your personal room. Also, if you are
staying using reward points, those nights do not count towards your Elite
status. When you achieve an Elite status your account remains at that Elite
status for the remainder of the calendar year in which you reach the status and
for the following calendar year.

Each week, our computer system checks the number of Elite nights on your account
for the last 12 months. If you have reach the nights needed requirement during
that time you are upgraded to the Gold or Platinum Elite level.

The nights needed to renew Gold or Platinum Elite status are based on a calendar
year so our online system tracks and reports your Elite nights based on the
current calendar year.

Thank you very much, and let me know if you have any more questions about our
program.

Sincerely,

Amy Jacobson
