PC status match

[Chaikel]

I've searched around, but don't think anyone has posted this.
Is PC status match one in a  lifetime?

[Chaikel]

Ok, if no one knows that, does anyone know if I'll get any benefits with platinum on my PB room in Ashkelon?

PC Platinum doesn't usually get you anything, Israel is not usually the exception to the rule on these type of things, but you never know

Does PC platinum not get you anything here in the USA as well? I have gold, headed for Platinum...Is there any purpose?
I was hoping it would get some sort of upgrade

I heard that you need to be referred.

I only need 10,000 more points earned by 12/31/10 to get platinum with PC.

Would SPG match platinum from PC?

If i buy 10000 points (the $30 way), when they deposit those points in my account, do they accrue towards elite status?
I know PC counts most earned points toward earning status, but would those points count as well? If so, that would be a really easy way to get platinum with them.
You need 60,000 points earned in a year to earn platinum. if 5000 points would cost you $30, then you can buy 60,000 points for $360. Then match it to SPG...
Thoughts?

(You can also get their credit card and get 30k and then only buy 30k more...)

The $30 method does not earn status-qualifying points.

So whats an easy way to get 10k? Or is it not even worth my time?

spg does not honor PC status

 I would think that getting the 30K from simply getting the CC would count towards the amount of pts needed to be Plat

 misunderstood yur ( ) I thought you were saying get the CC and spend 30k , I now see it was get the CC get 30k and then buy 30k in pts and not spend 30k

It does indeed count, and i have it already. Im wondering if its a waste to even try for the platinum. I only need another 10k

 Do U plan to be staying the rest of this yr and next in ICH Hotels?

if No then why should it matter. I was thinking over the samething but if I got the CC Id be Plat. But being Plat doesnt get me a whole lot so for now Ill remain Gold PC gave me 20k in their attack on HH. I just dont see myself staying at ICHs as much as I do MRs or HH

I don't know if anyone will status match PC. Maybe Hyatt if you keep on asking. Probably Choice

 The Intercontinental chain which is a part of PC is very good and if you find a way to be referred to be a RA (Royal Ambassador) you have it made much better benefits then SPG anyday

 that my friend is the 64 Million Dollar question

 theres something on FT about it, read it a while back, I never tried for it as I wasnt going to be staying at them. But all I remember was the benefits putting SPG to shame. and you need another RAer to refer you, at times they are being offered on CC on FT
