So what prevents an unscrupulous person...

Just wondering, by reading this forum...

What prevents that an unscrupulous person takes advantage of this Challenge program?
You pretty much can get a new account, enter the challenge, enjoy the benefits of Platinum status for a while... and then, say you don't make it... well, just simply register again with a new account and then try again?

Just wondering. It seems Marriot is kind of taking a risk with this offer... aren't they?


Btw... I just called and got my "Challenge Platinum" status in 5 minutes.

If it's a challenge from another program, it's 1-time only & recorded. But to point out the obvious, if you're starting new accounts, it's not like you can combine them all for the points

Cheers.
