I am trying to figure out if this will be worth getting the Platinum status... I'm Platinum now... and it's nice to be higher on the upgrade list, and have Skymiles flexibility of not having to pay a redeposit fee, but that's probably the only pros I can think of at the moment.

I am not sure how much I will be traveling next year right now. Most flights will probably be 2-3 hours and I will probably have at least 3 that are 6+ hours.

So is it worth dishing out over $1K to get Platinum for next year?

You are paying a fairly high CPM for the promo-so it depends on how much you want to achieve the next level. A good MR would net what you want.
