Gold to Platinum
I got my Marriott Gold membership through United. Whenever I stayed with Marriott, my nights count towards earning Gold membership ... which I have already got. I think it should count towards towards Platinum membership ... as if I already have 25 nights.

I would tell Arne Sorenson, but he's busy touting resort fees this week.

You've received Marriott Bonvoy status through United Airlines, not Marriott Bonvoy elite-qualifying nights.
You can get 15 nights per year with a Marriott Bonvoy credit card from Chase or American Express (but only 15 nights, even if your have multiple cards).

As mentioned, if you really want to try for Platinum get a Marriott credit card and you start at 15 nights (probably 16 assuming you get a birthday night). Of if you staying a bunch with your granted Marriott status, try and Platinum challenge.
