Not quite status matched as I'm Diamond with HHonors, but they made me Gold based on my 50 Hilton nights last year.

I just emailed them in December and they wanted a screenshot of my HHonors account.

Who'd you email?

Honestly, this is still a bit of a stretch for me, if I can't get a status match...Gold at Hilton is only 16 stays. I'm on the fence. Just can't see giving up Diamond at Hilton to become Silver at Marriott for most of this year (though I'm going to start switching stays to Marriott anyway due to the loss of WN as an HH redemption partner.)

Thanks for this information, however, I was able to get an outright match to Platinum. It would appear they play shell games in the US (prolly thanks to fellow FT'ers).

I was not so happy with SPG's new offering for a regular Plat (ie less than 50 nights yr) so decided to give Marriott a try this year. Have a dormant Marriott Rewards account to run with. Did a few new member referrals to which worked out well so far.

Emailed [email protected] with a photo of my SPG Plat, PCR Plat Amb, and Delta Hotels Plat Plus cards and recieved an offer within 24 hrs

Offer - instant Marriott Plat status within 24-48 hrs (actually showed in less than 24) to July 31 and a challenge. Stay 18 nights during April 18-July 31 and I earn Plat for the balance of 2012....less than 18 and no Plat.

Reasonable challenge and a chance to taste Plat with Marriott and see what its like. Only sent a photo and one email, no stay history requested and it was painless....kudo's to Marriott Rewards for recognizing an opportunity.

Then, you will rollover to 2013 any nights in excess of the level you have achieved in 2012! Lets say you have 80 nights in 2012, you will get Plat for 2013 and rollover 5 nights. If you have 60, you ll be Gold and rollover 10 nights. The 18 nights of the challenge count as regular nights for rollover purposes!!

I just got my Platinum card in the mail today (started challenge in February). Expiration on the card is 2/14.

I was just offered Plat and I have to make 9 stays through April to keep it.

Anyone have any recent experience with this? I lost status after a few years of non traveling but could potentialy have 5 to 6 weeks continuous stay and would be interested in a status match or reluctantly a "challenge" with instant recognition.

Marriott matching status

I am sure this is our there somewhere but I could not find it so please do not shoot the messanger

What hotel programs will Marriott do status match or challenges with and what are some of the current details.
