“These nights will count towards your elite qualification for 2024, not for 2025. So they’d only be useful if they would retroactively qualify you for a higher tier of elite status, or for the purposes of counting towards lifetime elite status.”
Why would it be retroactive? Wouldn’t it reduce your required elite night requirement by 5 for 2024? Meaning, you’d only need 45 more nights to requalify for platinum?
Sorry, I just understood what you meant. Will that still be the case if you choose the benefit between now and January 7? Will they still force it under 2023? So let’s say you barely got platinum with 50 nights, then the 5 additional is practically useless?
Pretty useless if you’re not gunning for Titanium elite – What year do the five Elite Night Credits count for?
The five Elite Night Credits count for the year in which the Annual Choice Benefit was earned, regardless of when the Member makes the Annual Choice Benefit selection. For example, a Member who qualifies for an Annual Choice Benefit in 2023 and selects Elite Night Credits as the Annual Choice Benefit on January 2, 2024 will have those Nights credited to the 2023 total.
