Platinum looks good on me!
Not sure what the metrics are for this to kick in, but yesterday I was at 6 stays / 17 nights this year and just had the text status display.
Today my latest stay posted and I'm at 7 stays / 21 nights and the meter started displaying:

That's actually not available at the moment, but we’ll take it under advisement and perhaps we’ll add that in the near future.

New Point Requirements for NYC Hotels
One thing that I haven't seen anyone talking about yet is the new point requirements for two of my favorite hotels in NYC. Le Meridian and W New york went from 12,000 points to 20,000 points a night! Thats a huge increase that wasn't advertised.

Does anyone know if that will be reflected immediately or will there be a delay?

Points Expire?
Does the new website list an actual expiration date for SPG points? I don't mean look at your last activity and add a year. Too much uncertainty about what is activity.

Language glitch?
Good evening, all.
I wanted to see if anyone else is having this same issue.
I'm US-based, with English being my preferred contact language in the SPG.com preferences. Since day 1 of the new website (as well as the old website), the language it communicated to me in was always English.
Now - my next stay (that I've planned far enough ahead for) is at the W Montreal. Suddenly, the same website that this morning had been communicating to me in English has the dynamic content around my account (homepage: number of stays YTD/number of nights YTD & My Account Page: top segment) in French text both above, inside, and below the horizontal "meatball" chart. Oddly enough, whoever did this design didn't think to change the date display to be D/M/Y when switching to French text (it's still American M/D/Y).
Could this be a language-localization attempt given that my next stay is in Quebec? I'm not physically there now, and my IP is well-recognized as sourcing from the US.
Screenshots attached. Lurkers, please feel free to PM me for more relevant details, and I'd be happy to help.
Merci, et bonne nuit!

same language problem
I am experiencing the same problem. I tried changing the language to French and then back to English to see if it switches back, but to no avail....

I'm sure I'm missing something as I am somewhat new to SPG...Is it not possible to select saved/favorite hotels in the reservation section of the home screen to book a reservation...If it is not, shouldn't the section be enhanced to include this?

Looks like the Le Meridien people are finally fighting back... Next stay theoretically in a Portuguese-speaking locale so that Quebec stay isn't the cause.
