Let's settle this right now - clearly, so that everyone is on the same page.
TWO aspects of this card make you Platinum:
#1: Keeping the card itself makes you Platinum, for as long as you hold the card.
#2: The initial posting of at least 60k points makes you Platinum as well, for the remainder of the current year AND ALSO the next year.
So let's say you sign up today and your initial bonus posts in December. You will be Plat until the LATER of: When you cancel the card OR the end of 2013.
Instead, if your initial bonus posts in January, then you're Plat until the LATER of: When you cancel the card OR the end of 2014.
