Is this right or is there some other qualification?
Marriott platinum is 75 nights. You would need to spend enough for 60 nights ($180,000) and you get 15 free nights per year for owning the credit card. If you pop over to the Marriott forum there's a much easier/cheaper way of getting platinum through booking meeting rooms
