1. click overview from the main menu.
2. select "see your benefits" directly under "you've made it to platinum premier elite".
3. toward the bottom of the page click the link that reads "SIGN IN TO CHOOSE YOUR BENEFIT" (even though you are already signed in).
4. surprisingly, I got the message that the 50 night award needed to be selected before choosing platinum premier award.
5. clicked the link to select the 50 night award and it worked.
6. click the 75 night awards link, and it worked.

This worked for the SO's account. YRMV...
