Op-Ups? Those are sort of hard to quantify.

SkyPriority? You have that with Gold Medallion.

SWUs? Those are gone (going forward) for Platinum Medallions.

International Lounge Access (day of departure when traveling in Y); same for Gold Medallion and Platinum Medallion.

Domestic Upgrades? I guess, Platinum is (much) better than Gold, but also hard to quantify and count on.

So, what am I missing?
