Golden

With a master stroke of timing, Marriott have today awarded me a trial period of 3 months at Gold Elite level.  Of course, I shall not be staying in any hotels between now and Christmas, so it's a complete waste of time as I won't be able to take advantage of any of the special benefits, such as the free super-wifi.  I've gained enough nights in the past three weeks to main my Silver Elite level for another 18 months anyway.
