Doesn't that mean that if I spend $50k/year every year, I will always have gold status and then to get to Marriott Platinum each year, I only need to work on getting 25+ nights a year? edited to add: nevermind, I found this won't work!
If you spend $50k you get Gold status with the biz card. You also get 15 eqn from the card. You don't get 50eqn, you are just granted gold status so you need to stay another 60 nights to get Plat. If the biz card grants one eqn per $3000 spent like the personal card does then that will help as well since your $50k spend will give you 16 more eqn.
