Before everyone gets overly upset, please look at the rules for Plat versus PP in the new program. If you don't earn the 5 SNA choice (based on actual nights credit during the year), there's very little difference except for the 75% versus 50% points bonus.
In fact, based on my experience as a Marriott multiyear PP, I would expect most hotels to continue to think that PP is *below* Plat and act accordingly.
