If you've been Plat from the beginning, how close are you to lifetime Plat? That could well come sooner than requalifying for Plat this year if you have enough nights.
Oh no... I have booked a prepaid stays for this long weekend. It'll count as 1 stay instead of 3 nights.

BTW, I achieve my Platinum status mainly from number of stays not nights. Depends on the towns, cities I visit, I tend to split my stays between HHonors and SPG though. Currently, I think I have close to 150 nights. Uhmm... 500 nights is still a long way but I hope to achive it within 10 years, let's hope.
Q: If I read it correctly, does it mean every year one needs to maintain his/her Platinum Status in order to qualify for Lifetime Platinum?
You should let us know what happens.
Certainly, I will update the thread once I get their reply.
