Hello everyone,
I am planning for a 50 - 60 nights stay in hotels from November to February, then there will be no hotel stays between March and June 2026 and then another few nights in July followed by a huge lot in a similar scale in November 2026 again.
Many hotel programs, such as ALL and Bonvoy splits their membership year on 31 December, however if I am doing this amount of stays, how would I be able to achieve platinum status by February?
I am currently ALL Gold and thinking of achieving Bonvoy Platinum by February 2026 and count towards lifetime status by 2040.
Thanks!
