This page suggests until Feb 28 2015.

However the pdf membership guides (external link also found here) suggests Feb 28 2014. (page 14) ...As in about 90 measly days from now.

I have a couple planned international flights in April and May, and platinum status would be nice for those. But if But I'll be kicking myself if I use up vacation days and $$ trying to platinum qualify only to have those benefits expire just before those trips.

clarification from seasoned elites?

Thanks!
