Applied to Status Match on Wyndham website on a Saturday. Received email confirming status match challenge on the following Wednesday. Upgraded status good for almost 2 full years after completing my 10 night stay. "Awarded Level will remain in effect through December 31 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such Qualifying Night(s) were completed,". I just happened to do this at the end of one calendar year and the start of a New Year.
