That's true, but the weird thing here is that one can be "Platinum" without really being Platinum. I've never heard of a situation before where it was possible to retain a given service tier, but not actually get the full benefits of that tier.

I would presume this is Sixt's way of offering "Platinum" status to certain credit card holders, without actually offering them the full benefits of being Platinum.

That contrasts with, for example, the SPG Gold status that Amex Platinum provides, which is just SPG Gold status, with the same benefits offered as for somebody who earns it through staying nights.
