i'm sure this must happen to others, but it's kind of funny that my on-line status has been outracing the actual card in my hand for the past three months... I arrived home to two packages (one for a silver card and one for a gold card) but i'm now platinum. Zero to 60 nights YTD.

I went from 0 to Plat last year, but never got a silver card.

3 or 4 years ago, I think, during a very extended stay at the Marriott City Center in Minneapolis.

Yup - I've done this for UAL, SPG, and MR. I've got a nice stack of useless card somewhere...

Did it in just under two months in late 2001 (double nights promotion).
Great promotion, sad cause.
