Does my status take affect when my 25th stay hits, and would I get $700 worth of value over these 20 stays?
like others have stated, your status will start the day your 25th stay posts....

i have stayed in all 5 of the properties you mentioned & i was treated extremely well as a plat in every one of those properties....i got a suite every time & the staff in general were great....

platinum has a whole different meaning in asia....you will in all probability get a suite upgrade & most hotels in asia will give free breakfast to plats if they ask for it (even if its not part of the published benefit)....along with the regular features like free internet, late check-out (gold benefit too) & early check-in, i would say that it makes it worth it to spend $700 to get plat status....
