2) said if I got within 40k miles of lifetime Plat (I'm 115k now), they would comp me Platinum again for a year
3) conceded it wasn't disclosed

I asked for 80k but that was more than this guy could give (or so he said). but I figured I'm at least whole, with the extra points from Platinum over two years adding up to around 40k.

Thanks for the heads up, previous posters
The redeemable 40k miles are worth something, too, so it looks like you're coming out way ahead.
