Best uses for the Platinum Elite status?
I would recommend searching around for the best standard room rates at properties you want to stay at (rates can be highly variable, so flexibility is key). From my experience, RCs in the Caribbean have excellent Club levels (Aruba was excellent IMHO). Since club level upgrades are good for up to 7 days, I would try to maximize their use.
Platinum at Ritz doesn't go very far, although apparently things have changed for the positive somewhat.
