Anyone else think find this to a bit frustrating? Platinum benefits aren't great to begin with (no suite upgrades, etc.) and all these brand exclusions for where breakfast/lounge access/points on incidentals aren't part of the benefits? I guess I'll stick to the JW for +5k more...Worth it for the points on incidental spend and breakfast IMO.

I really hope Marriott learns from SPG from the loyalty program front, as they say they're going to "combine the best elements of both programs"
