How hard is the fall?
My travels are still obscene, but my territory has changed. I no longer stay in cities with Marriotts anywhere, so it looks remote that I will make Platinum or even Gold - with Marriott.
Just wondering if you don't requalify for Platinum again do they knock you right back to nothing or do you get a "soft landing" to Gold?
Just curious - except I have really enjoyed being Platinum for the last 6 years.

I hear soft landing, but then I've only fallen from Gold and I had enough for Silver anyway. Platinum is a recent nice suprise. What I did get last year as a fallen Gold was a quick requalification offer for Gold back after 12 stays within, I think, 60 days.

I don't know if that is still the procedure.I also received an offer at the time to buy Platinum for 50k or more MR points.I enjoyed my treatment and customer service more at Hyatt for far less stays so now I am a mere silver at MR
Don't miss much of anything the Marriott Rewards program had to offer to be truthful.Even Hilton gave me more value as a comped Gold.Now I am a Diamond HH and I couldn't be much happier all things considered.
Good luck on the fall
