Is it better to not claim until the last few days of the eligible year? Or better to claim the Plat Pro ASAP before hitting Exp and then theoretically getting a 5th one...? My hunch says I would get 3 more, but their tech is not always... flexible.
You can select 1 on reaching plat pro, and 4 with your two choices on reaching exp.

I like your idea of not redeeming until ready, but, at the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas, you get one free night when you hit a certain tier level, and then two more nights when you hit the next. If you haven't used the one night yet, you more or less lose it, you don't end up with three.
No, they do not take it away. I did not select plat pro rewards, and upon reaching the exp qualification requirements, the plat pro reward selection remained in my account.

matrix.itasoftware.com. Under advanced controls, use extension codes (the tooltip will tell you exactly how). It does have a slight learning curve, so it's not exactly the easiest, but once you know how to search, it becomes very easy. There are also some guides (e.g.
