Usually my Plat line wait is 0 to 2 minutes (occasionally more, but not too bad usually). I was waiting earlier today and heard on the recording after about 6 minutes that I could Press 1 to get the regular Elite call center. Once I pressed 1, I was connected to an available agent immediately.

If you're a Platinum, this may be your problem today.
I pressed 1 and waited about 30 more mins for a regular elite person
