Members of The Ritz-Carlton Rewards program can earn two elite qualifying night credits for each night stay at participating Ritz-Carlton hotels in 2014. Double elite qualifying night credits will be awarded to members retroactively for all stays at Ritz-Carlton properties starting from Jan. 1, 2014. Retroactive credits will be granted automatically to your membership account as long as you were a Ritz-Carlton Rewards member at the time of the stay. Award redemption nights are not eligible for elite night credit.

Through the promotion members can earn: Silver status after five nights (normally 10 nights); Gold status after 25 nights (normally 50 nights) and Platinum status after 38 nights (normally 75 nights).

Bottom line: This is a good promotion for members who would like to maintain their current elite status or gain a higher level of elite status in 2014.
