I always wonder
WHY in the world
does some guy
write and whimper and simmer in the forum
about being only a gold member now?

Ever heard of a mattress run?
Seriously?

Have you tried at least to plea your case with CS? There is an e-mail you can send to ask for an exception/status match/comp status, etc. Strange by itself though -- long time Plat members are usually offered a complimantary Plat status when they fall a bit short in a given year -- happened to me in 2010, to my friend 2011. Unless you were already given one in previous years -- you cannot it two years in a row.
But whyyyyy? The short cut of night and stay makes one to fall down in the level @:-)
If a certain level wants to be achieved, it must be slept in the hotel

I would not of missed it if I was at 20.
You could of easily found sub $100 nights at fourpoints/aloft and with the double stay promo it would of cost you $300.
Plus if you would of spent a little time you could probably get a pricematch and pick up 2000 SPG points/stay plus your plat amenity and base points it would not of cost much time or money to requalify.

One less Platinum to Acquire my Potential Suite Upgrade.
If the OP could not manage 25 Stays when Oct/Nov/Dec 2009 also double counted for 2010 and his own local city has rooms at around $120 a night at weekends, then really the OP does not deserve my Free Suite Upgrade.
Just enjoyed $45 a Night plus 2800 Points at the $250 a Night Westin Grand Cape Town [No longer available as its now Cat 4].
This hotel has the finest Executive Lounge I have ever encountered.
May the OP enjoy their Smaller Gold Room at Hilton.

Right, right, I pay ALL of my 25 SPG stays and 28 HHonors stays and 25 Hyatt stays out of my own pocket. Thus, I have no understanding for such whimmering people "oh, I am five nights short, why did I not get the Pla status free of charge". AAARGH

We all know that you have been comped numerous times in order to achieve top status at various programs...
25 stays at Hyatt, as a LH HON ? Didn't you take the challenge recently ?
Either you are milking the programs only to a very very limited extent or you are plain lying in various forums...

Comped? Yes, when I first became a SPG Plat a couple of years ago, I was matched. But this works only one time @:-)
Hyatt; yes, this year only 12 nights because of the LH HON. Nevertheless, this is also a one time thing. I guess.
To come back to the basics: Who doesn't spend enough nights/stays hasn't earned the highest status. That's why he will fall back one level (or more) :-)

What not true? I think it is very true.
He, the OP, the gold gets the standard rooms and I, the famous Zurich Flyer, the Plat, get the suites
PS: We from Hilton understand that every traveler has his choice. Me, the customers understand this well, and this is why SPG is amongs my preferred hotels and Hilton is only my second or third or fourth choice
