I was offered the same 6 night challenge, which isnt really much of an offer. My employer gives me automatic Silver status anyways.

As others have alluded to, some of my co-workers have had success getting a straight up platinum match by working with the hotel's sales manager and guaranteeing recurring bookings. This probably only works though if you were going to stay at the same property, and it is a reasonably high end property.
