When and how are nights counted?
I am cutting it real close for my gold qualification and am wondering whether I will end up disappointed for not making it because I am misunderstanding the way nights are counted. Here is my question:
I started staying with marriott August 2007 with my first stay going from end of August to Sept 4th. By now I am in need of 2 more nights for gold and have a reservation that starts August 29th, i.e. basically AFTER my first night of the 2007 stay but before the end of the 2007 stay. So the question is do I have to reach 50nights within a year of the beginning or end of my stay back in 2007?
I hope that was not too confusing and thanks for the help. ^

This is a good question. I am working with our technical people to determine if the nights roll off based on the check in, or the check out date and will post when I hear something.

I wouldn't expect Marriott to be that petty.
Worth ringing the rewards help line to see what they say, and can do, to help.

Interesting ...
In your account activity, they post in the month based on the check-in date .... I guess that's software for you.

germansoks,
Are you checking out before Sep 4th for this year's stay?
your first post did not mention the stay duration.
