Marriott status question

[Deleted]

I just went on to see if our points posted.

It says "congratulations" your gold status has renewed. 

The thing is we were a few nights short from hitting 50 this year. 

I'm happy it renewed (I love that we get free breakfast where ever we stay), but I can't figure out why we renewed. 

Any insights?

It sounds like this isn't too unusual:

Interesting. I'm happy.

Oddly it is also showing I already have 42 nights this year... maybe I'll make platinum this year if I actually get to keep those nights.

My platinum status was renewed this year although I was about 10 nights short. FWIW.

This is good to know. We are pretty close to "lifetime" gold status too.
