Getting Platinum benefits when you stay. Upgrades, bonus points, etc., etc. Better than being treated as dirt as a new chain. You can also work your way towards lifetime status, though your constraint appears to be the 10 year requirement, not the nights.
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?)

unlikely, since the requirement is to complete both the 500 night & 10 year requirement....

Just requalified on nights. At 60-ish, once research gets back to me with a missing stay.

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

Just requalified yesterday with 25 stays. Waiting for Lifetime Platinum sweep.
Just crossed the 155 nights mark now and 500k spg points. I also have platinum status with Marriott.
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?)

Hit 75. 100 now looking like October and 500 for LT right around the end of the year, due to some unplanned non-SPG stays (pesky golf outings..., errr, strategic planning meetings)

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
