Gold status exp.
Hello,
last year I got Gold status in MR thanks to a promotion for Flying Blue Plat.
I have never received the card but in the few stays I got the corresponding perks(upg to executive room, extra points,...).
I have not stayed at Marriott properties any near the 50 nights needed to requalify as Gold, but I do not know when my status will expire.
Is at the end of Feb., like some airlines, or April as in HH, or...?
I did some search but could not find it.
Thanks for the input.

Many who got status under that promo were lucky to get Gold status through 2/2010.

Possible to merge accounts? I signed up for this promotion and was able to get Gold, but I just realized I had an older legacy account with a few thousand points in it (maybe 10-15k). Is merging the two possible? Would I be a fool to try to do this?

I also got the gold status when opening a new MR account even though I already had an existing account. Probably within a month I called and asked if they could merge the two accounts....which they did. I love having the status and have moved all my stays to Marriotts. This is actually a great PR "get their attention and business!" move. Unfortunately, I can't imagine having 50 paid nights a year to keep it. 
Sure hope my status remains until Feb. of 2010.

Thanks very much for all your input.
I will ask for a new card but I will wait to merge accounts because I would not like to be downgraded to basic level
. After all MR points do not expire so there is always time for this
