Ritz Carlton cc no longer offers Gold status, or just Marriott bug?
Hi all: My Marriott account dropped this past couple days from Plat to Silver, even though I have the RC cc. Anybody have the same experience? I'm hoping that it's a Marriott bug and their management re-grants Gold for their RC cc users... Anyways, looks like I might end up pushing spend to other cc's.

I went from Platinum to Gold, with about $75,000 in spend, again. Will drop this card. The upgrade certificates are too hard to use, and the $300 travel credit can't be used to upgrade to first class without a fight. Strange move in this troubled times.

They dropped the 75K spend to Platinum from Titanium but if you hit the threshold, you should still be Platinum not Gold. I am also a bit miffed at losing Titanium - havent had complaints with the card otherwise (aside from the flimsy replacement cards) but this is irksome. Titanium seemed worthwhile for the spend - Platinum not so much. Maybe time to re-evaluate...

Not sure what you mean by "about $75,000 in spend," but as long as you have at least $75,000 in spend, you quality for Platinum. Call them to point that out, or send an SM. Don't give up without a fight, but it's unfortunate that you have to fight to get it.
