Wine & cheese. To me, that's the main difference between Gold and Plat. (I'm not belittling that...I do enjoy the wine & cheese...)
I have attempted to call for the Platinum Override twice. Both times it was rejected...apparently properties can game the system on this somewhat easily. So unlike with rental cars, where I've found their top-tier overrides quite valuable, it hasn't helped me with Marriott.
