Has anyone ever been granted a status match with SPG? No Platinum Challenge, a straight status match from Hyatt Diamond, Marriott Platinum, or Hilton Diamond.

Nope- funny story. I was complaining about it HARD at dinner in CT with my team and a guy from another table leans over and says- I work for Starwood. I was like- oh good - let me give you my negative feedback directly. He did nothing. I lit them up- letters, note to my old ambassadors etc. no go. There must not be enough business traveler women who take leave for them to give a crap. Sad.

No and when I came back from maternity leave after 5 years of platinum they wouldn't match my status either (for some reason Marriott never expires) ... I had to re-earn from scratch like a newb

Nope. Had to do a status challenge earlier this year.

That's what I thought. I have loyalty with every other hotel chain except for them. I am too high maintenance to go 18 nights without status!

That is so awful PwC1! As a female that really upsets me. You are seriously so kind to bring your business back to them!! I would have boycotted them lol.

Thanks OP. D1- it only took me about 2.5 months to re-earn it. I have lifetime Gold- but Gold is decidedly not platinum 😮. It was a good exercise in humility.

Transactional associate. Lateraled 6 months ago and one of the biggest pain points has been my new firm’s inclination to “hop on a call”, which of course requires every single stakeholder to join. The end result being every call has 25 people on it and nothing actually gets done because no one wants to ask a question that could come off as silly. It’s destroying my ability to get anything done during the day. It’s a complete performance and it drives me nuts.
