Do I gain a lot by meeting the Challenge and what would I lose if I missed meeting the Challenge?
MR does tend to extend status if they feel there is good reason to do so. There is no obvious formula to determine what they will do until it's done.

From what I've read, you will not be able to do a Platinum challenge as long as you are a Platinum. You will be required to drop to Gold (remember MR has soft landings) before doing the challenge.
