If you do this on a regular basis, you should look at maintaining top tier in two programs. I've been PLT at both MR and SPG for 10+ years - nice to have if you do 100-125+ nights every year. As I have over 250 nights in a little over a year and a half, does anyone know if reaching platinum status lifetime can be done before the 10 year period? (ie can your ambassador work wonders for you?) |
I requal'd in April I believe, on nights. Currently at 47 stays. Will easily eclipse 150 nights this year, again.

Check.
Nights. 17 SNA's not including 2 in the process of not clearing. Got a requal promo.... 2x points for a month (sept, oct, nov) OR 35% off an award redemption. |
Just requalified on nights. At 60-ish, once research gets back to me with a missing stay.
|
8 more stays for this Platinum to requalify.

Just requalified on stays and 46 nights and continuing. Got a welcoming email for Platinum Lifetime. 12 years and 575 nights. Yippy!!! The extra 2 years were for Gold.

26 stays and 48 nights this year. I'll definitely hit 75, and 100 is a possibility. We'll see.

I should be at 100 by the end of September and 500 lifetime by mid-November, barring a change in travel plans/projects.

When MR was 12 years, there wasn't flexibility. But MR removed the duration requirement, so as soon as you hit 750/2M, you're in. |
Requalified
I finished 50 nights and 15 stays this year in June.
This is my 5th year qualifying as platinum. My lifetime counter is currently showing 293 nights and 4 years elite. When does the elite years counter change? I am waiting for it to show 5 years elite and Lifetime gold :) |
