2015-2016 Marriott Rewards Year-End Changeover, Status and Rollover Nights

[dioxide45]

Update: It is showing now, for my recalculated total, that I have 2 rollover nights. It says that I need 8 more for Silver.

I am going to call tomorrow for an explanation.

Not getting how this was calculated, even their own rep gave me a lot more.

It's always something.

I would give them a couple days before calling. They may not be done with all the back end work. It might end up being right in the next few days.

Thank you. Great idea.

Will do.

Will do.

I agree with Dioxide because the changeover is always done in segments. The past couple years it's been relatively quick with only a day or two in between but in the past they've taken up to a week to finalize all aspects. I'd give them until at least Wednesday before calling, and then only if you see that your account isn't finalized while others are reporting here that theirs are.

My rollover just posted this afternoon.

Yep, mine just posted as well.

As did the double dip of the rollovers hitting my lifetime nights.

Again, thanks. Correct info as always.

Very good.
I can't quite match you, but I do have 16 nights by Jan 11 (just showing this morning) so not too bad a start.

Oh WOW! Just checked mine rollover 66 nights

15 are CC nights. Renews in January... Gives a boost to start the year.

Well, my 10 CC nights are not due until the end of the year, so i am getting closer to you.
But then I read May's post about 66 rollover nights!!!

I just barely made Platinum last year, so I only have 4 rollover nights (plus 15 credit card nights coming soon). Love this head start on status!

 

[frank808]

Only had 62 rollover nights but i got platinum premiere status for the very first time. Wifey had 86 rollover nights but only got platinum status. Wonder if marriott will send me a new card?

between platinum or platinum premiere, what are the differences?

Just a note to say that I called and spoke to MRP customer service. I had a very informative rep who explained things to me that I had found confounding before. Yes, the fog has lifted.

She informed me that I was eligible for a "Gold Challenge" which, if satisfied, would grant me Gold Status until December 31, 2017.
This requires 6 PAID stays, not just 6 nights from now until March 30th.

Remember, stays and not just nights.
That is, for example, 2,3,4, etc. contiguous nights = 1 stay.
One lone night = 1 stay.
Redemption stays and the bonus anniversary night do not count.

I have 3 separate, one night stays, already planned and they count even though I reserved them months ago. I'll pick up 3 more here and there before the end of March.

YMMV ! So, call MRP and ask if you're eligible for the "Gold Challenge". Not sure if there's a Platinum Challenge. They can explain things much better re: qualifying. I'm not sure how I qualified, so can't help you on the particulars.

The gold challenge is nonsense.
Every time I have to do five days somewhere, like platinum, do 5 different reservations, and I take 500 points for each stay as platinum gift (total 2500).
And 'that Marriott has "forced" to do so because the platinum gift they give it only once if one book 5 consecutive nights.
Also changing room every night (like platinum make a late check out, so I have no problem even to sleep until 14h00).

Follow my advice, delete the only booking for three days, and make 3 different. With 3 different bills!
Sorry for my english

You're premier and she's only platinum? I wouldn't even talk to her anymore. Show her what status means!

Paolo,
Your English is just fine.

Molte Grazie for your advice.

I signed up for a Marriott rewards credit card. They are supposed to give me one free night a year in one of their hotels (not sure what category but I can guess). I am at a gold level and about 100K MRP.

Question, do the MRP points expire after a period of time if I don't use them? Also, does my 1 free night awarded every year have an expiration point as well? I was hoping that I could save them up and use several consecutively.

 

[topmom101]

Free night certificates can only be used in a category 1-5 and, yes, they do expire. Use it within one year of your anniversary date or lose it.

Just tried to use mine today but, unfortunately there are no category 1-5 Marriott hotels anywhere in Key West.

I was Premier for the first time last year and couldn't really tell any difference.
