Crazy! That means you would receive (In 2010):
3rd night free
$50 in dining/spa
1 Suite Upgrade
1 Room Upgrade
THEN (Plat)
1 night free
$100 in dining/spa
2 suite upgrade
2 room upgrade
THEN in 2011 (Platinum certs for making it in 2010)
1 night free
$100 in dining/spa
2 suite upgrade
2 room upgrade
AND, if you early qualify for Plat in 2011 you could again get
1 night free
$100 in dining/spa
2 suite upgrade
2 room upgrade
Hypothetically, If you early qualified for Plat in February, 2011, and booked a trip prior to Feb 28, 2011 you would have:
3 nights free
Buy 2, get 3rd free (possibly use it on your 3 free nights)
$350 dining/spa certificates
7 suite upgrades
7 room upgrades
Crazy.
