My first thought as well! I may fall to Platinum this year, so please do share OP!

For me and the way I travel, Platinum isn't much different than Gold. The value of 1k, again for me, is the GPUs. When I do the math, 6 upgrades on international flights is worth more than the $1900 you are considering. But I know for a fact that others here value GPUs at a lower rate. It's really up to you to figure out the value of upgrades and other things like free SDC.
