I had planned to apply for the Amex Bonvoy Business Card (I already have the Brilliant) so I can get 30 nights through cards only, but after taking the survey, I think I'd better wait to see what the replacement card for the Brilliant will be, as it will probably offer Platinum status (and a slew of other benefits) without having to get 50 nights. Even if Marriott winds up offering Platinum status with the card, it still falls short of Hilton's offering of top-tier status with the Aspire Card. But, in the long run, this may be the start of Platinum becoming the new Gold.
