10K in spend = 10K in elevate points and 5K in status points. Only on premium card and only up to 30K in spend for 15K in status points per year. After that mark, you would only earn elevate points.

Per VX's T&Cs:

3. Earning Elevate Status Points. (Premium Cardholders only)

Each calendar year, Premium Cardholders are eligible to earn up to 15,000 Status Points (as defined in the Elevate Member Guide) toward reaching or renewing Elevate Gold or Elevate Silver status. You will receive 5,000 Status Points for each $10,000 of Net New Purchases made using your card, up to a maximum of 15,000 Status Points per calendar year, provided that you have paid the Annual Fee and your Account is open and not in default at the time Points are posted. Any Status Points earned on Net New Purchases made after the December billing cycle end date will be applied towards the following calendar year's Status Points earnings. Status Points will post to your Elevate account approximately 6 to 8 weeks after the billing cycle end date in which you reach each $10,000 of Net New Purchases. Status Points count toward reaching or renewing your Elevate status in the qualification year in which they are posted. The Elevate status qualification year begins on January 1 and ends on December 31. If the Status Points posted to your Elevate account in any qualification year exceed your earned status threshold, the Status Points will be applied to the following year's status qualification. Status Points are not redeemable for Reward Travel.
