I found this one through a Google search and it gives you most of Gold benefits without achieving Gold status. According to PLT Concierge if you use the SET number and you are PLT your PLT benefits remain. I used the SET number when the hotel only had rack rates and I was able to get about $120 off the rack rate. There is a form to link your account to the SET.
