That is all that I shared a bit earlier...and that caused your reaction.
Again, I've quoted the

FWIW - I find it incredibly strange that you seem to think elite bennies relate to 1 only - which is upgrades. There are many elite bennies, & yes in some areas Marriott Plat bennies offer things that SPG don't - and heck, even offer to Gold & Silver that SPG doesn't.
I'm off for the night. Have a good weekend!
Cheers.
