That's what I did to get the platinum status sooner.
just want to confirm that platinum status is applied to your IHG account after 8 weeks, but you can SM chase to have them contact IHG to get the platinum status sooner?

i am looking to apply for the card, but need the platinum status sooner than later so not sure if timing will work out for me. thanks in advance.
