Had I not bought platinum, for two years, I'd have 80k Redeemable points more than I did and 80k lifetime points more.
The benefit from Platinum (and the only reason I did it) was for the extra bonus points (which I thought brought me closer to lifetime status). Those were about 20k a year, 40k total.
So I now got back the 80k points I lost (40k in adjustment and 40k in bonuses in excess of what gold would give me).
Not sure what other benefits there are of Platinum except UA silver which I haven't flown during that time period.
