To manage your expectations, you will probably not notice much difference with Titanium and Ambassador over Platinum apart from the higher points earning rate.

When you passed 50 nights you got to make an Annual Choice Benefit and you'll get another at 75 nights. Access this through your online account. Most people, anecdotally, choose 5 Suite Night Awards at 50 nights and a Free Night Award at 75 nights. Again, to manage your expectations, if you're in the US then don't expect much from the SNAs but keep them for a luxury points redemption on your holiday in Asia. What holiday in Asia, you ask?

You will be accruing a lot of points that you should keep for leisure travel in Asia where you will really notice the benefits of being Platinum with Bonvoy. Lounges, breakfast in the hotel buffet, evening drinks and canapés up to a full buffet meal, proper suite upgrades are all commonplace in many destinations in Asia for Bonvoy Platinums or higher. And the points redemption rates are pretty good because the cash price can be pretty good (unless you focus on Hong Kong, Singapore, or Tokyo of course). So don't miss out on using your Platinum status and the many points you will accrue with business travel to expand your horizons and experience some of the world's best hospitality on holiday for free across Asia for the price of your flight.
