Thank you sbtinme and everyone for the great answers.
I'm sorry to write meaningless after I reach the Platinum magic number. This will be my first time achieving this level in my very short SPG career. Of course, I will be staying after I reach it for the rest of the year. Hopefully they will continue with the promos. I already achieved the 2/3/5 K promo the first week it was available. Unfortunately I didn't get the double stays or the Free Weekends ones but it's okay.
At the Four Points in Montreal, I have treated very well by the staff and always received an upgraded room every time. I read the thread regarding whether or not platinums receive the best rooms based on past history. So maybe I will be lucky.
Next year I will be travelling more and would most likely reach Platinum again.
Thanks again for your great help everyone. If it wasn't for this site, I would never know what's going. I'm afraid I never received one email from SPG regarding any promotion includinng the 3/6/9 or the latest one.
Keep up the great work...

Simply make it a point to discuss your upcoming Plat status with the hotel staff and get their input on what sort of upgrade you might expect there.
I know that many have posted here on FT that they get the 2 floor suites at that property.
Best of luck and congrats on hitting the Platinum level. I've been Plat with SPG since the program launched and it really is the best program out there.
