I've moved some discussion posts from the rollcall thread to this one.

My extra 200 nights get me nowhere and I'll end up with about 1,000 nights before I actually achieve Lifetime Plat due to the 10 year requirement. And yet others will do it in half that. At some point I think Starwood should take into account all these extra nights (perhaps at 750) and have them count towards status. I mean, that's a lot of extra nights with no reward.
Where would you draw the line ? Is 850 nights and plat for 3 years worthy enough for LTP too ?
One could also argue that, as 12 years elite but only 6 as Platinum, had you shown more commitment to Starwood in the other 6 years, you'd be home and dry by now ....
