The same happened to me this year:

- My review date was Aug 31 2016
- I was going to be short 5k points as of Aug 31 but new that I would get those missing points and then some the next month, so I let it go on the basis of the 13 month qualifying period
- At the end of August I received an email saying that I hadn't re-qualified but that they *extended* my review period by one month till Sep 30 2016 (how nice of them!)
- I got the remaining miles on Sep 5 and qualified
- My next review date is Aug 2017
Oh - sounds like I'm in the same situation. Hopefully they will give me the extension as well. Though of course the upshot of this thread is that Platinum isn't really worth it

Thanks.
