What's after Platinum? I'd love UA Gold as a Perk!

I personally would throw peace & quiet without being jarred awake by my neighbor's self-slamming door into that mix. So an upgrade to a corner, top floor, the CL level or an otherwise unused suite is nice. But yes I would trade that all away for a guaranteed suite for the family a few times per year.

No matter how much money I have in my bank account I can ONLY spend full retail price if it's something for my kids or grandkids.
Not so much for myself-- but if my kids needed a suite for their families, and even it was ridiculously expensive, I'd still do it.

Is Marriott / United Airlines still offering the Marriott Platinum Premiere Elite status match to United Airlines Premier Gold?
Cannot find a working URL anymore and the regular website is just saying that you can get matched to United Airlines Premier Silver.

I was Platinum for a good six to seven years before finally hitting Platinum Premier for the last two years. This time period was
mostly 2-3 nights per week, with the last four years being mostly 3 nights/week for ~49 weeks/year.
It's definitely a nice perk to get UA Gold as part of the status. I don't fly a lot, but I've benefited from it several times
this year already.

So I guess you don't need to be a PP to get Gold status.

Well I am just a Platinum(albeit a Lifetime) and I called Marriott Rewards and spoke to a mgr and asked for United Gold. She took my MileagePlus number and said it would be set up in a few days. Within 2 days my status was United Gold.
So I guess you don't need to be a PP to get Gold status.

I'll have to keep that in mind if and when I drop to regular Lifetime Plat.

After Platinum Premiere there is Ambassador. Biggest perk is you get your own personal concierge at Marriott. Same person, obviously not 24/7 but its nice to hear a familiar voice. When that person is not available, the call will roll to another person who is on the Ambassador team.
