- Upon making 16 qualifying paid nights within 90 days of date of registration, participant will receive Marriott Rewards, The Ritz-Carlton Rewards or SPG Platinum Elite status for up to one year, based on their loyalty program affiliation. After the first year, Platinum Elite status will be retained by staying the required number of qualifying nights under the terms of the Marriott Rewards, The RitzCarlton Rewards and the SPG programs.
- If member does not make 16 qualifying paid nights within 90 days of their date of registration, member will be changed to the membership level which corresponds to number of nights stayed: Member tier for 0-9 nights stayed, Silver Elite tier for 10- 24 nights stayed and Gold Elite tier for 25 – 49 nights stayed. |

Does the 90-days period actually mean 90 days or 3 months? If I remember correctly from my previous Starwood Challenge, I could choose freely which month I would like to start, but the starting date was always the 1st of the month.

I don't think that's the case. From various forums, CSRs have been either saying 90 days or until 12/31 (at least for people who signed up in Sep) and I'd rather play it safe and follow the 90-day limit. Haven't heard anyone mentioning the 1st of the month. I'm guessing Marriott isn't following SPG traditions?

Just called to sign up, 46 mins hold time till i got a representative. 16 nights stay by 12/31.
|
So I just had a recent 3 night stay where i paid points for 2 nights and cash for the 3rd. If I call in they should be able to tell me my progress on this challenge... right? Want to make triple sure they are counting the awards nights before i go and start mattress running.
|
I just signed up myself. Started today, I have until 12/31/18 to complete.
Took 20 minutes. The rep was very knowledgeable about it. I used the iPhone texting service. (Awesome service if you’ve never used it before). It is a great way to get things accomplished if you don’t want to sit on hold, or can’t talk because of where you are. |
Just wondering... 3 differents rooms per reservation could be considered as a 3 differents stay?

Quick (perhaps silly) clarification on the platinum challenge: Do all 16 nights have to occur during the 3 months challenge period or do you just have to accumulate 16+ nights total (including what you already have for the year prior to the 3-month challenge period) by the end of the three months?

It should be 16 nights during the challenge period, but of course I haven't seen the T&Cs for your challenge. |

Members who are interested in the elite challenge promotion will need to call customer service for more information.

So has anyone received confirmation by email or on their profile that they are enrolled in this challenge? I called and enrolled in it on 9/14 and never received a confirmation. Called on 9/20 and the rep confirmed I was enrolled, but didn't know why I hadn't received anything from Marriott.

Sadly there doesn't seem to be anything. |

The full T&C are also posted higher up in this thread (I posted them). However, it's possible that the T&Cs for one person's status challenge are not exactly the same as those applying to someone else. This is likely to occur, for example, if one person is getting the challenge through a corporate travel contract, and possibly if different countries of residence or credit cards are a factor, etc. IMO it's irresponsible to assume and moreover people should be encouraged to read the T&Cs that apply to them. |
