I'd love to know what Chris/Marriott think about this or similar proposals. So far, I think the only thing MR offers is the Platinum Elite (or whatever they call it), but that's a longer term deal, and the benefits are, well, pretty much things I don't have that much use for.
Feel free to jump in, Chris.

Platium Premier is our newest level for those members who are in the top percentage of the elite program. The requirements include 125+ personal paid nights in a year with at least 2 prior years of Platinum level membership. It is also based on dollars spent and stay history with the program.
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. This is something Marriott created per feedback from members like you. Perhaps this could be an incentive that some have been looking for?

Well I would hope that they get something more than a phone line.Chris-I think this is going to PO a lot of the Marriott regs.
