I am really new to PC, but as far as I can tell, Platinum isn't worth much. I will achieve it with two nights and a bunch of promos (biggest loser, crack the case, challenge, ...). But I'd rather have HHonors Gold (which I won't renew this year unless I upgrade my Amex).
That said, I'd be happy to be positively surprised when I go burn my newly acquired stash of PC points in the future.
Even ignoring the relative value, I find it interesting to learn about and dive into the intricacies of a new program. This year it was Hyatt for me. Maybe next year it's PC (certainly need eight more stays to complete my Crack-The-Case).
