Yes, it would be safe to presume you are being left at Plat for 2015. Was 2014 your first year earning Plat? MR has been known to extend status based on a moving average or company name.

Congrats.

I have a general question about PP:

I am a RC member who stay Marriott a lot, have two year in a row >150 nights (100 stay + 50 bonus/roll over/spend,etc), and will definately have over 150 nights again by the end of this year.

Do you have to be a Marriott reward member in stead of RC member, in order to be promoted to PP?

Thanks for your reply, yes 2014 was my first year as platinum.

Were you ever Platinum Premier? If so, when and for how long?

Did you have some rollover or credit card nights?

Never been a platinum premier, also do have both the chase marriott card and the chase ritz carlton card.

I was demoted this year. Oh well, not like PP really got me much anyway.

PP gets you designated as X4 on check in. Worldwide. It's a subtle benefit which not all properties know how to apply properly.

What does X4 mean? What benefit it gets?

Well that's the magic question this thread attempts to answer- what does Plat Premier get you. IF you read it thru- you'll see, sometimes a lot, sometimes nothing.

My experience is most often nothing

I've read through the thread and I'm familiar with PP. However, I didn't realize there were an actual, formal status showing up on reservations.

Yes, there is. However, many FDCs don't know what it means. Some PPs have reported being considered less than a Plat! One of the problems that surface with unpublished benefits.

It designates you at checkin as ViP level which then depends on the individual property how they handle you.

Benefits you might never notice:

Upgraded room even on oversold nights

No arguments when settling little issues on the bill at checkout

The benefit of the doubt on your side of having issues

Additional category of upgrade not available to gold or platinum oe priority of upgrade over regular gold or platinums

Some properties will upgrade your room as far as 30
Days in advance if you are a regular guest and notify the property guest relation team.

Better and more attentive service



In essence, the lots of little things which money (or status) can't buy and you might not even have noticed along the way.

+1 I never look for upgrades because I travel alone. I don't complain when I get them and I usually thank the FDC when I see them again.

All I ask and expect is to be treated well as a human no matter how I happen to be dressed for travel that day. This is why I use the App to check-in and get through that process quickly.

Just wanted to ad that I was able to get two rooms in Montgomery AL during the 50th anniversary weekend of the Selma march. There were no special rates available nor could I use my corporate rate. I could only get 1 room if I logged in. So I did that at two hotels.

it's just a notification that the guest is a PP, nothing more or less
