This totals 20 nights, compared to the 15 I presently receive. Am I miscalculating?
This is where OP is wrong. If OP is holding a Bonvoy Bold from the US, they were granted 15 ENC and no automatic status - this meant they only needed 35 ENC to Platinum. Starting later this year (so next year for OP), the card will grant automated Silver status but only 5 ENCs, so 45 ENCs would be needed additionally to get to Platinum.
If OP is talking about a different card or a different country, they should specify what they mean by “Bonvoy Visa”
