Marriott soft landing?
Apologies if I missed this - I did a search for "soft landing" and didn't find anything. I'm wondering - if I'm platinum currently, but don't requalify, will I be downgraded to gold (I think that's the level below?), or will I drop to nothing (I will have about 5 nights this year versus 115 nights last year)

I'm not sure there is a perfect answer. I've kept plat once when I didn't have the nights and I've, as I was this year, dropped to gold.
I'm not sure I've heard of anyone who went from Plat all the way to Silver though.
