As we approach the end of the month I'm reviewing my status to make sure I hit Gold Elite again for 2012. This morning in the shower I had a clever idea and I'm curious about what gotcha I might be forgetting.
The setup: currently Gold Elite, will hit 48 nights by the end of the year. If I squeeze in two more, I'll hit 50, renew, and start the new year with the base 10 from the Marriott Rewards Visa.
Or, assuming Marriott continues Elite Night rollovers for 2012:
Fail to reach Gold Elite for 2012, but retain status through Feb.
Lose 10 nights to renew as Silver Elite, and then re-gain them from the Visa.
Stay two nights in January, and become eligible for Gold Elite again for all of 2012, AND for 2013.
Try for Platinum Elite.
Is there something simple I'm missing? (other than the possibility they discontinue elite rollover).
