You can get 10 nights for booking a meeting room. This can cost you as little as $50-100. The credit card gives you 15 nights annually for both the Marriott biz card and Marriott rewards card for 30 nights. That will get you 75 nights and Plat without staying a night.

That’s pretty far off from 75 so don’t see it happening

To add to that: as per another post you can actually call the hotel which ever one you find the best rate you’re willing to spend and have manager remotely check you in and out and charge your card so you never even actually have to go to hotel

Like D1 said I think you're out of luck. However, you can do one challenge a year. so I'd sign up for that once your next project starts and you'll hit platinum status in 2-3 weeks if you change hotels every night (9 stays* needed I believe)

I just got the Amex plat, so I ll get gold from that too. Anyone was able to convince them give you platinum if you had 2 sources of gold?

Yes, yes, I need to type faster

K1: it’ll be 6 stays

@k2 I believe silver->gold is 6 stays, when I did gold->Plat challenge this past year it was 9 stays

Might’ve changed
You will need to call OP

Not only did he not respond, but he also changed the pictures on his profile multiple times, making it obvious that he was on the app/saw my messages! He then unmatched me. Never met him, so obviously not the love of my life, but just genuinely curious.
