The offer you got for 5k MQM + 5k RDM to upgrade from Gold to Platinum is the standard one available once you've had your Gold card for 13+ months. As others have said, you'll likely get a better offer by signing up for a biz version of the DL Plat Amex, or by cancelling your personal DL Gold Amex now, and then applying for a new personal DL Plat Amex in 90+ days.
