I need to spend around $24k by the end of the calendar year to achieve gold status.
Gold status where?
In general for mid tier status, I wouldn't bother unless you have a really easy/MS friendly strategy. Gold with Hilton comes automatically with the Citi Hilton Reserve card and Amex Plat with no spend requirement, you can get Gold with SPG/Marriott with the Plat by doing nothing other than linking your accounts.
