Additional Plat Levels?
I looked at a "Marriott Elite Recognition Chart" last night (or something like that).
It stated that there are the following Plat Levels (I was told this was in order of priority). It also had pictures of all the cards Platinum 5 Star Platinum Chairman Owner Platinum Chairman Platinum Premier Platinum Elite Platinum Lifetime I'm going from memory so feel free to correct me if I messed up one of the names. I've heard of the Lifetime, Elite, and the new Premier...but have never heard of the other three. I did a search for 5 star and did not come up with anything. Anyone know what these levels are, how they are obtained and what benefits go with them? |
My favorite level was "Unicorn with Platinum Horn". :)

Grovsenor (sp?) the CEO of the National Geographic Society who was on the board for many years (btw: I was very impressed by him....very nice man) BTW: I believe there are only: 5 Star Plat, Plat Premier, Life-Time Plat, Plat (but I'll have to double check....my day Club Marquis Black was the highest level) |

There were 2 other plats on their chart (I think they both had chairman in the name...chairman and chairman owner or something) annerj |
Platinum Premier Upgrades
Marriott suprised me this year by awarding me Platinum Premier status. Since then I have not been on the road as much as usual but in my last 9 Marriott and Renaissance stays (not counting CY and RI) I have been upgraded to suites 5 times! The coolest was a two bedroom/two bath suite in the Renaissance Des Moines Savery.
In my previous four years as Platinum I have had room upgrades but NEVER a suite. Maybe this Platinum Premier is really worth something! Here is my scorecard: Renaissance, Chicago Downtown - yes :) Marriott, Atlanta Norcross - no :( Renaissance, Bedford MA - yes :) Marriott Sable Oaks, Portland ME - yes :) Marriott, Schaumburg IL - no :( Renaissance Savery, Des Moines IA - yes :) Marriott Eaton Centre, Toronto - no :( Marriott City Center, Philadelphia - no :( Marriott, San Ramon CA - yes :) Posted from an Executive Suite overlooking the Chicago River in the Renaissance Chicago At 1 Wacker Drive. Click to see a picture I took of the view out my window. |
Interesting. However, as a plain old run-of-the-mill platinum, I was given the same type of suite you are now enjoying at the wonderful Ren Chicago (Looking at your photo reminds me of the glorious view). Interesting, to me, is something noted in a few other threads here; that is how much more accomodating Rens are for plat upgrades than Marriotts. Your upgrade score is as follow: Ren 3 for 3; Marriott:2 for 6.

What does it take to be a Platinum Premier? I have not seen anything about that.

Have you done a search? There are a few threads on the subject. |

Platinum Premier status is the recently added 4th level of elite membership in our program. This level consists of the top percentage of Platinum members. The requirements to achieve premier status include 125+ nights per year, stay history, tenure as a Platinum member, and dollars spent. Accounts are assessed once a year to determine Premier membership and there is no way to be manually added as such. Chris |

Suite upgrades
I am Plt Premier too. I am finding I get suite upgrades about 50% of the time. In the last month I've stayed at the JW Camelback Inn 4 times. Each time I've been upgraded to a suite. My current stay I've been upgraded to a suite with its own private pool. :D Summer in Arizona has its advantages. This stay I'm on the OTP rate so I get my $100 BB and breakfast, I used my elite coupon for a free night and got a suite that in two weeks will go for $459/nt.

Happy New Year! Time for a big BUMPeroski on the Platnium Premier Level thread!!
Wondering if any clarifications have been made to the level since Chris posted his reply in May 04...

Plat Premier is our newest level for those members who are in the top percentage of the elite program. We haven't done much advertising for it (since it's new and was offered to a limited number for testing purposes). The current requirements are 125+ personal paid nights with at least 2 prior years of Platinum level membership. All accounts will be assessed once a year to determine Premier membership, and our representatives in the various customer service offices are unable to add someone to this top level. The benefits of Platinum Premier include all existing Platinum benefits and a special phone line dedicated solely to our Premier members. The representatives answering this line have the ability to help with travel plans, make Marriott hotel reservations, as well as maintaining Marriott Rewards account information. As time goes on, we hope to include additional benefits to this level. All your suggestions have been noted! I, for one, appreciate your feedback on what our best guests really want in a recognition program. Chris |
:o How ridiculous is Marriott Rewards going to get? Now they want 125 paid nights for a status level that offers nothing much more than regular Platinum, which already offers no upgrades for 75 nights/year? I left Marriott years ago for the likes of HHonors and SPG, both of which require far fewer nights for the equivalent level of status and actually have real perks, upgrades and the like, that they deliver on.
Marriott Rewards needs to cut the nonsense and make the program competitive once again. Get rid of this new level, cut the stay requirements, and provide benefits that members truly desire. |
