What’s the most unusual thing you have done to retain or get a higher elite status ? I need two more nights to retain my plat status with the Marriott. I am planning to stay at a 2 star hotel using 25000 points lol. I don’t know the time I did this 😂

Isn't it getting extended by Marriott without having to hit 50 nights?
