That's two strikes. One more and you're out. |

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 ;) |

Actually for PP he is correct...
PP selection may be 99.99% automated but I have to belief that a special situation could be addressed, albeit at a high level. |

So what exactly is the sliding scale graph that is now on the Marriott.com webpage (My Marriott Rewards account screen) where platinum is approximately 75% of the way towards the end of the scale?
I have 110 nights year to date and the graph is approximately 90-95% towards the end of the graph. If I reach the end do I make PP or is that just another useless item on marriott.com? --DD73 |

the levels that can be manually given to you are Platinum (P1) to X5 (5 Star Platinum)...PP falls inbetween but isn't able to be manually given
Finally, is there a thread somewhere around here with a definitive list of these codes and statuses, and the benefits associated with each one? |

I think that I'm making too fine of a point. I withdraw my comment. |

I thought platinum was P6, or is that only if it is "earned" whereas it is P1 if it's manually entered? And how well is the average front desk associate trained in noticing and respective these various codes?

What is a "X5 (5 Star Platinum)" and what are the benefits? Are there any other levels besides Silver, Gold, Platinum, 5 Star Platinum, Lifetime Platinum, and Premier Platinum?
5 Star Platinums have the normal benefits of Platinum status with additional specific benefits as determined by the Chairman of the Board - membership is lifetime and is granted only by the Chairman |
They need to drop the year requirement from the lifetime award

This 12 year rule is garbage - I have enough for Silver status in 5 years, but need to wait another 7 years to gain the status. Do the other chains run something like this? I'm going to stick with Marriott as long as company policy permits, but I'm curious to know what Starwood and Hilton require to get lifetime status.

Platinum Premier designation
I got this response today from Marriott to my query about what makes a Plat. Premier:

The Platinum Premier status offers only one additional benefit. The benefit is access to a Platinum Premier phone number that assists with reservations, rewards program requests and Marriott Rewards account inquiries. I apologize that our office is not able to upgrade members to the Platinum Premier status. This upgrade is done as a system wide update and only accounts that qualify are upgraded. Our corporate offices have informed us that the qualification process is based upon a comparison of Platinum member accounts. Out of all of the many Platinum members accounts, the top 3% are offered the Platinum Premier status for one year. If you ever qualify for this status you will be notified by our corporate offices. |
