Due to significantly lower travel now, I lost my platinum to lifetime gold. Any possibility Marriott will push it to lifetime gold with these stats if I request:

You’re 48 nights and a year short and you want them to push you up… because?

Why would Marriott do this?

They’ve been doing a double nights credit promo at the beginning of the year for the last few years. Stay 25 nights during that period and you’d get your extra year of Platinum and the nights you need. I’m not sure why an exception would be warranted.

Why do you need status if you aren't planning to travel much anymore?

Wait. You were downgraded after reaching lifetime Plat.? Is that even possible?

No I wasn’t downgraded. I needed 1 more year as platinum to become lifetime platinum. Now as lifetime gold and not much travel coming up I will need 48 nights (600 total) to become lifetime platinum

do you mean push it to lifetime platinum in the original post?

Yes sorry looks like I wrote gold by mistake

You’re an entire year of travel off - doubt they will do much.

And honestly lifetime platinum isn’t that much better that it’s even worth caring much about if you’ve stopped traveling regularly.
