For full disclosure. I got my PLT status through one of the recent promos. I wouldn't have any problem qualifying as I spend more than 300 nights yearly at hotels. It is just very difficult for me to stay at Accor hotels considering what benefits I would receive at Hilton, Hyatt, InterContinental, Marriott & Starwood properties i.e. mostly suites, breakfast/lounge access etc. But, I do understand that these are NOT benefits of the Platinum status.
