The meeting will count toward the normal way, not toward this special way that the email gave you, which is why need your full information.
Also, how valuable to you are the Platinum vs Gold benefits? To many, they're not great enough to be worth a lot of extra work to get the extra 25 nights. But are you going to be able to qualify for Gold a lot more easily? (We can't tell because you explained what the email offered, not how many nights are in your account for the year to date.)
I don't know that the difference between Gold and Plat would be enough for most people to want to do a lot of mattress runs to get Plat if they can get Gold without any such extra expense. However, the difference between Silver and Gold is quite another thing.
IIRC Marriott has in the past tended to do soft landings, so presumably the OP would be Gold next year regardless of how many nights (including any rollover) are in the account. If OP has already earned Gold and stays at Gold, there could be some rollover into next year which would not happen if OP gets Plat through the special offer.
