Hotel Points If I take Accor signature today, how much more to spend in cash to become platinum by the end of year

Hi ,
If I take Accor signature today, how much more to spend in cash to become platinum by the end of year.
I read in some website that first credit of status nights/points is immediate.
In that case, I may get 9000 points by the end of year. How much more to get into Platinum status?
Is it 5000 Euros or 5000 BRL. Quite confused about the status nights. 5000 Euros is a very big amount and I may not spend that much in one year. In that case is it ok to just be happy with points ignoring completely about status nights?

Hello guys - I am seeking your guidance regarding the best course of action here.

Currently, I have 22 nights and will be staying at an Accor property for an additional 6 nights from the 25th to the 31st later this year. This will bring my total to 28 nights, leaving me just 2 nights short of achieving Gold status, which means I will retain Silver status following the annual reset.

I am considering the Signature Absolute membership. If I take it this month, I will receive 7,000 status nights by Dec, which would qualify me for Gold status - allowing me to enjoy the associated benefits during my upcoming stay in Dec end. While I am aware that room upgrades under Gold status are not guaranteed and less common than under Platinum, several friends have shared positive experiences of being upgraded as Gold members.

Although the status will reset at the end of the calendar year (December 2025), the 1,000 status nights per month benefit will continue until April 2026, when the Signature Absolute membership expires. This would provide me with 4,000 status nights in the new year.

To reach Platinum, I would require an additional 10,000 status nights. Based on my expected stays, I do not anticipate achieving this through revenue nights alone. Therefore, I am planning to renew my Signature Absolute membership in May 2026.

My key question is: upon renewing the Signature Absolute membership in May 2026, will the status nights reset to 0 (thereby losing the accumulated 4,000), or will the new status nights be added to the existing 4,000—resulting in 12,000 status nights by December 2026? This would allow me to attain Platinum status by year-end, particularly as I have a 9-night stay planned for December. Achieving Platinum at that point would enable me to enjoy those benefits through December 2027.
