Agent advised that a PP benefit allows us to book 5 day packages vs 7 day packages at lesser points. She mentioned it was only available to MVC owners and Marriott PP (not regular platinum).

Platinum Premier level, 2016-present
Moderator's note: I split off posts starting with this one from a very long and mostly obsolete thread here:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/marri...re-2016-a.html
That thread is now closed but available to anyone who needs to refer to it.

Just logged into my account & noticed I have been bumped up to Marriott PLT Premier for 2016!
While I am fully aware it sounds like that isn't a big deal in terms of perks, I find it a bit odd. While I did end 2015 with around 175 total nights, most of those nights were rollovers from 2014 when I was on an out of town client. I only actually had 21 paid nights in 2015.

On that note, my status has remained at PP so far this year so I guess I am again at this level for 2016? Havent received any notice yet though.

Why so surprised? A night is a night and Marriott looks at the whole picture...how many nights total you have in your account, as they should be.

I was demoted on (roughly) 2/28/15 for 2015 after 3 years as PP. Making and being demoted both didn't make sense to me although certainly put the nights in other years...

First Time PP
Just checked my account and noticed I'm labeled as PP now. I expect nothing to be different 
I also noticed none of my roll over nights have posted. Based my last year stays, I would roll over to platinum already. Based on other threads, it seems Marriott is a bit slow to post these. Any words of wisdom on this?

Care to share your numbers? So you don't have platinum now but your rollover nights and other earnings so far this year would get you platinum? Doing a lot of meeting rooms?

I should of took a screen shot of my last year nights. Its all Credit Card and actual butt in bed nights. My numbers looked something like below
Actual 2015 Nights: 125
Credit Card Bonus Nights: 31
Rollover 2014 Nights: 33
2015 Total: 189
Therefore my rollover nights will be 189 - 33 (2014 Rollover) - 75 (Needed for Platinum) = 81

So status upgrades happen about now, but downgrades dont? Last year I went from Plat to PP about this time...was I still just Plat. until the end of Feb last year despite what the website said mid-January?
Actually, this behavior may only pertain to PP tier this time of year.

I am a newly minted PP again this year. I was PP in 2014, downgraded to Platinum last year and then just logged into my Marriott account and saw PP this year.
Here's my 2015 breakdown (I called in to ask):
Nights (BiB): 84
Credit Card: 21
2014 Rollover: 24
So, 129 nights total in 2015
As of today, I have 30 rollover nights and 1 credit card night, with 44 needed to renew platinum (I am LTP anyway). - I assume the CC nights will change when my MR VISA anniversary rolls around in Feb.
I still have yet to receive any PP card nor gift from Marriott (never got mine in 2014, the phone charger/lipstick looking thing, either).

With those numbers I have to believe they've long abandoned the rumored "3% of all PLT's" unless your 84 nights were at some astronomical rate. Sounds like they've watered down that level too. Not that it meant much anyway but it was a good chip to politely use at the Front Desk when doing the upgrade dance and often led to success!
I agree, my numbers are low, but I have been a platinum every year (earned! - even though I am LTP) for almost 15 years. I also have been to marriotts in 16 or countries this year.
Not sure if there is more than just # of nights that make us PPs
