I received an e-mail recently with the following promotion:

I was surprised to have received this e-mail as I have made multiple stays this year and I am a platinum member. Still, I appreciate the gesture! Now I wonder if an award stay would count towards this. The promotion does not specifically stay that it must be a paid stay, and award nights now count towards elite status.
