A warning to those who may follow this suggestion.

While you may maximize benefits from this promotion, if you barely achieve Platinum or Gold status each year this type of activity could cause you to lose out on achieving such status. While it is true that you can tranfer points between accounts with the same address on the account, IIRC you cannot transfer stays/nights credits between accounts.
