So, I do really want to know about the qualification criterial for platinum premier status.
It's been stated that MR assigns PP status to the "top 3% of members". They do not state if that is based upon nights, spend, number of MR execs you know, or what. So there is no sense in trying to cross a threshold to get it. If the person behind you does one more whatever, you lose. I was lucky enough to get it for the last year they offered 10% restaurant discount and had no clue what I did differently than the year before or the year after to change things.
Just consider it to be the brass ring at the merry-go-round and if you get it enjoy the measly benefit while you can. DO NOT spend an extra dime with MR to try to qualify.
