Just received my 2014 mailing and it has a 'Lifetime Platinum' physical card in it.
Which was disappointing, as it signified I had lost my 'coveted' Platinum Premier status !!
Being obsessed with spreadsheets, I looked back over my last few years 'Bums in bed' stats :
Year 'Bib nights' 'Bib Spend' Outcome
2010 101 11,229.05 Promoted' to Platinum Premier
2011 97 10,321.08 Platinum Premier Retained
2012 112 11,768.37 Platinum Premier Retained
2013 89 11,287.38 Platinum Premier Retained
2014 97 10,272.01 Demoted' to Lifetime Platinum
I'm not a statistician, so cannot comment on whether the 'outcome' is related to the Bib spend.
However, I would say that the reason for the decline in the last 2 years, was a conscious decision to move 15-20 nights/year to Starwood to achieve Gold Status.
So I guess the real hypothesis to be tested is :
Marriott PP > Marriott Platinum + Starwood Gold
I am fairly sure that few would support this hypothesis ?
