I am currently a Gold member. I have seven stays, for a total of 14 night, scheduled between now and the end of the year. This will bring me to a total of 40 nights for the year, ten shy of retaining Gold sstatus. I have heard I can do a Gold or Platinum Challenge to retain or upgrade my status. I have also heard I can use 25k points to retain my Gold status at the end of the year. What are my options, if any, and if there are options which would you recommend? Thanks for taking the time to read my question!
