- 9600 points - 240 points for the following 40 nights, as I've reached Gold level
However with just 10 nights for 1000$ each, that will net you 20,000 points, an increase of nearly 80%. That's not bad and it would get even better if you would spend 20 nights for 500$ each, which would net you 25,000 points.
So you would trade Plat status for 15k points would you?
I know I get more value each year from SPG Plat than I ever would from a 15k redemption.
