I contacted my ambassador and other customer service agents, and I was told that there's no way to override the 5-year rule, there are some guys with 1000+ nights and 9 year Platinum, SPG cannot grant them lifetime Platinum.

Well, if this is the case, I would have to choose something else that is for my best interest: Marriott Rewards.

I loved SPG, but it's time for me to say goodbye.
