My numbers are 10 years/600 nights/1,000,000 points. I did not get the early nights but there was not that many. I have been a plat since 2000 and had one year that I did not get 75 nights but was "waived" for the year. 2 years to get alot of points for me to get silver.
This sounds like planning for retirement :)

Definitively, it is top 3% annually by the computer system, of Platinum members. Finally, she said they would check archives to see if any of my room credit nights are missing from way back when, so I will keep you all informed if they show up and are added. |

As vague an answer as we've already determined. How does the computer system determine the top 3% each year?

According to the woman that I spoke with in Bill Marriott's office on Friday, November 2, it is purely based on room nights, not on revenue, and there is no human interaction at all, in order to keep favorites out of it, etc. Top 3% of room nights volume, annually, period.

Well Socrates, you go right ahead and argue with her about it, but she works directly for Bill Marriott, and I don't think that she got it wrong. I would give her name, but the last time that I put a name in one of the threads, I was told that was against the rules.

I would side with socrates on this one. I have had over 200 nights in a a year when I noticed others on this board with far less nights were upgraded to plat premier and I was not. If it was purely nights annually I should have been bumped up. |

"Trust me; I know." I'm a Platinum Premier. The formula is revenue-based and differs for initial and re-qualification. I'm also going to bet that she doesn't work directly for Mr. Marriott. |

That's two strikes. One more and you're out. |
I've been watching this thread with interest. I don't know what makes a Platinum Premier, but this is my first year to have that designation, though I've been Platinum for several years. My stays with Marriott this year have followed the same pattern as the past few years, so I'm anxious to see if I stay P.P. when next year's levels are determined.
Long ago I decided I wanted my hotel points all in one place, so last year I had about 5 Hampton nights & 5 Holiday Inn nights, and these were only because there weren't any Marriott properties for many, many miles. Every other hotel stay was at a Marriott property. The 30% Platinum & 50% Visa point bumps make it easy for me to justify staying within the Marriott choices. My almost-free vacation trips to Hawaii & NY City are my "reward" for being loyal to one brand. Now, I just need to figure out how to make my posts appear in their very own color, because I want to stand out from the rest of you peasants ;) |

Soc PS if her name starts with a P then I believe you that you spoke with his office, otherwise I believe you spoke with Mr. Marriott's Office of Consumer Affairs which is actually located in SLC, if you call HQ and ask for Mr. Marriott's office this is where you are transferred |
