So it seems fair that one can conceivably make SPG Platinum with 1/3 the number of nights if done on stays with 1/3 the hotel options.
What I wonder is whether or not the SPG resorts will adopt the Marriott policy of not offering breakfast or if it will remain status quo.
Perhaps in 2017 I can do 25 nights (I know it's stays but I could try to do one night stays) at SPG and still get Marriott Platinum.
