If you spend 5.5k for a stay in one week (including dinning and other expenses) (as some people do) it surely is possible, as your example of CanadaDH showed. So,
whoever made that argument was not necessarily incorrect when making it, because compared to FPC it is way easier to earn a
higher (as per Accor) status than you used to have with FPC. (as an Ex-FPC premier spending an approximate of about 3000-6000$ (or more) for 10 nights (or more) you should make it to gold or even platinum, while platinum members dhould make it close to diamond).
Unfortunately I happen to be in the group that
only makes it to gold (based on the room rate I'm paying), but who knows, maybe with the additional spending for dining and co I will make it to platinum as well.
Generally I don't think we can generalize that much as the spending range of ex FPC premiere members may range from 1500$ to maybe even over 10k $ in extreme cases...
