I believe the first two flights accumulated 1.5x points (and miles) because the ticket was full fair business.

Anyone know if I can backdate, as to where I'm automatically qualify for plat?

Thank you,
Just a follow up. I called customer service and they were able to backdate up to 2 weeks back. Apparently there's no exceptions to going beyond that period. I was able to reclaim about 8500 miles or so, so it served my purposes since I have an upcoming flight that will push me over the top on the first leg.
