Now: Anyone know if you can have multiple AMEX platinum level products at the same time?

I don't think that's working anymore. Read the red notice at the top of the wiki; I think the rest below is obsolete because of it. I just switched my airlines to Delta and AS last year because of it. But again, probably best to discuss in that thread.

I had made lifetime gold at SPG prior to the merger. I was disappointed with the downgrade to the 4pm checkout time. Having the platinum benefit last year kept me booking Marriott/Starwood Properties. Now that I'm back to gold with no guaranteed late checkout, I will be staying at other places.

Not really breaking my heart, I don't dislike Marriott by any means but I am more of a Hilton person for a variety of reasons. However, many here seem to be..... well "disgruntled". I like the word anyhow.

This was a change announced well in advance. Sure, please go ahead and book with Hilton. By the way, does Hilton offer you lounge access at 25 EQN level?

I'm not disgruntled, but there were probably a dozen nights that I went with Marriott where another hotel would have been better in some way that they won't get this year. I'm sure they don't care, but I'm also sure that the positive impact of the partnership for them will decline, because I'm not alone in my anticipated behavior.
