Best option in your case would be to get 10 EQN per meeting with Rewarding Events. You have until the 17th to get your 9 meetings completed:

Platinum Status in Eight Days and $800 - No Stays Required
Just to expand on the question of using 100 nights to get a year in MR and a year in SPG, remember that you can't "double dip" on platinum years. In order to get the 9th plat year in SPG and 1st year in MR, Parikh1234 would need to do 50 nights in MR and 25 stays (or 50 nights) in SPG to qualify in each legacy program, and would need to make sure that the total nights gets you over the 750 night barrier. So yes, with 100 nights, it is possible to get to LTPP, but you would need to sweat the details.
