US requires three cards and $75,000 spend for SP, 5 cards and $125,000 for GP, and if you can somehow get approved, 8 cards and $200,000 for PP or 10 cards and $250,000 for CP. (I have 4 Delta and 6 USAir cards.)

Oh, and AA does allow lifetime Platinum with $2MIL spend. Maybe more of a hassle to upgrade, but the lifetime aspect is nice.
What is the status of US air after the Visa is dropped by BOFA?
Do you go with 6 cards from Juniper?
