I logged into SPG.com this morning to find that I have crossed the 500 night threshold necessary to obtain lifetime SPG Platinum. Unfortunately since I have met the requirement in just 4 years, (my first ever SPG stay was in late 2008) I have a solid 6 years of Platinum status to go to meet the second criterion of SPG Platinum which is 10 years at Platinum status.
At least I don’t have to sleep in a hotel tonight.
Ugh…I probably stay too many nights in hotels…..

Congrats! That’s a nice problem to have!
You just need 6 more years of any status, either Gold or Platinum.
Do you stay exclusively with SPG when you can?
too bad that 10-year qualifier is in there! congrats, nonetheless!
I was mistaken, 10 years of Platinum needed
I racked up close to 280 nights in 2 years..sad that I still need to have status for another 3 years in order to qualify for Lifetime Gold.. sigh..!!
@aussie – Primarily. I also try to maintain Hyatt Diamond on stays each year. The big reason I continue to give SPG the majority of my business is the high percentage of complimentary suite upgrades on award stays (when I want a suite upgrade most).
