Marriott should check for new accounts with platinum for 1-2 month period and block them !!
or Marriott should sell platinum for less like IHG Ambassador (hate the idea) but it's a way to stop this game
by the way they pay more than what they got in my opinion its not worth more than $500
Actually, there are legitimate reasons to stay 40 or 50 nights at one property when opening a new account. Off the top of my head, insurance companies put people up in hotels when their home is damaged in a storm. Or if an employee is being relocated, companies could put them up in a hotel until they can buy a new home. Maybe the person is a consultant on assignment for a couple of months.
It happens.
