If you're Gold, you get 7 miles per dollar. If you're Plat, you get 8 miles per dollar.

Plats got totally destroyed. To be Plat before, you had to fly 100% more EQM than Gold. But you earned 100% more RDM.

The new Plat (which should be renamed Brown, but I digress): you still have to fly 100% more EQM than Gold. But you only earn 12% more RDM.
