I am almost finished with my challenge and should reach Platinum within two weeks. So excited! I will end up with 55 nights overall after the challenge. I know that I have another 15 nights coming in December from my credit card anniversary, 7 for a vacation in October, and another handful of nights booked on business before the end of the year so I would have just squeaked by with 75 nights even without the challenge. Glad to have the perks for the rest of the year, though!
My question is this: if for some reason I end up with, say, 73 nights for the year - will I still carry over 23 nights into next year (difference between 73 nights and 50 night requirement for Gold)? Or since I completed the challenge and became Platinum early, will I only carry over any nights after the 75th?
todzwif congratulations on your success with the Platinum Challenge! You had sniffed out the answer correctly... Only nights beyond 75 will rollover to next year, and you will need to hit 75 again in 2017 to requalify platinum in 2018. Of course, you can do a challenge once every 12 months, so you could leverage that option to requalify if you anticipated coming up short. You are doing the right thing by having the credit card! That should put you in good standing! Congrats again!
