[QUOTE=baliktad;12422011]Not being intimately familiar with other 3-tier FF programs, what sorts of benefits might one expect from a platinum-level status? . . , so I'm not really sure what AS could add. QUOTE

I'm guessing it's likely that current MVPG benefits will decline.
If there were more benefits to offer, wouldn't AS be offering them now to Golds?
Unless it comes in conjunction with an expanded mileage plan in general, like more upgrade options on partners, or benefits associate with international travel.
