That's not even counting other bonuses and/or credit card spending.
Actually I did mean 20,000 but only because I was mistakenly doing $2,000,000 and not 2M points haha. It was 3:30 AM when I posted that so
But yes you are correct with points at the rates I'm paying it would be about 2000 nights and far less with the Plat bonus. So I guess I will hit all the requirements way before I hit 12 years unless I switch brands. Starwood has been temping lately especially since I have the SPG card.
