I only have 28 nights this year at Marriott but my app says platinum status and I’ve been able to get bonus points and lounge access at hotels…any reason why this is happening?

I’m having a lot of trouble getting used to how unstructured the startup is.

Is this just the general startup environment? If you experienced this before, how did you deal with It?
