Elite levels Above Platinum
Is the rumour true that there are Elite levels above Platinum by invitation only?

No. There are people who get treated better than elite (VIP, Marriott Owners, etc.) but they are not higher elite levels.

What are VIP and "Marriott Owner"?
If I'm long 100 MAR, should I carry a printout of my brokerage account holdings?

A Marriott Owner is someone who owns a Marriott Hotel.

I have seen posters in Marriott offices stating that there are 6 distinct elite levels - yet what all the details regarding each of the levels are, I just do not know!

Almost 2 years ago, I stayed in the County Hall Marriott, and the gentleman behind the front desk saw my Platinum card and commented that with all the new levels of Platinum now out there, it is tough to keep them all straight. I asked him to elaborate (as I had no idea that there were any levels of Platinum - thought 75 nights was the only one) ... he said that there was a level that he thought was called 5 Star Platinum that could be attained by staying in only 5 star Marriotts (not sure if he meant the JW 5 Star or just 5 Star)... I shrugged as I thought he may not have his facts straight... but who knows, according to other posts in this thread, there are other levels of Platinums out there...

Not unless things have changed very recently. Being 1 night away from Plat. and a TS owner, the levels are the same. At least when we bought in 98 and 2001, no status was comped except through the VISA. That was for Silver and we already had that status.

I have been a Marriott Platinum member for about 8 years and I've been a Marriott Timeshare owner for over 15 years and I have never received, seen, nor heard of a benefit that I could attribute to being a Timeshare owner. The Timeshare side of the Marriott house couldn't care less about your hotel-side status.
