The Road to Platinum?

i'm at 44 but they are missing about 12 of my stays. i have opened missing stay request with them but they are very behind. sooner or later they will have to get it straightened out i assume and next year will be pretty easy to make 50 since timeshare stays count and the 15 bonus with the cc. two years away from platinum for life. all worth it. i stayed 5 nights in paris and was upgraded to the top floor suite and had a fabulous breakfast every morning. 5 nights for the points of 4 and i think it was a cat 5 . but felt like an 8.
 
I'm at 48 but they never credited my 15 nights for the old Chase MR CC which I had for 11.5 mos. of 2018 (just upgraded to the new Chases MR CC when they offered 50k points a week or 2 ago). The annual fee was charged to the credit card in JUL, so the 15 nights should have credited to my account shortly after that, right?

I will be LT PP (750+ LT nights and 2MM MR LT points) whenever they get caught up on that. (Website currently shows me as PP and LT P.)

NOTE: we switched the MVC MR # to my wife so that she will also be PP via our Presidential Level status with MVC. Our advisor says this change usually goes into effect in FEB for all switches to MVC MR #s.

I guess I will call them on both of these issues to see if I can get some resolution. Wish me luck.
 
Are you guys talking about regular Marriott Rewards status... or is this specific to Marriott Vacation Club? I'm "Platinum Elite" and the next tier is 75 nights, "Platinum Plus Elite"

I don't think I've been offered any of the things people have mentioned (suite upgrades). I just got 1 free night up to 35k for having the Marriott Premier Plus Visa

I am a lifetime Platinum member and have received nothing other than a free night certificate due to the credit card. Whats up with the the suite upgrade certificates?. I have never seen them or heard about them until I joined TUG.

Any help or a reference to an article here?
 
:( Rats, I was so close. Time ran out and I didn’t get ambassador level. Only missed it by 9 nights and a paltry $20,000.

To get the SNA you have to stay 50 nights. Do not get award for just being lifetime plat or plat premiere.

I achieved 58 nights this past year. Some are cc nights, some are redemption nights. Do they all count to get SNA?

I guessed based on FlyerTalk that the rewards selection website is not working right now. Big surprise.

It is also confirmed on the Marriott Rewards Insiders website, by the MR reps there, that this is not working
