I send an email to the platinum liaison and pose the question and they emailed me back that says " Mr ....., if you complete your platinum status challenge in February 2013 your level is valid for the remainder of the year and will be downgraded to SPG Gold in February 2014. To maintain platinum longer you will need to meet the platinum criteria of 25 eligible stays or 50 eligible nights within the 2013 calendar year."

If I have to do 25 more eligible stays to keep platinum till February 2015, I might as well just do the 25 stays next year and not do the challenge.

Any comment please MR Lurker?
