I received a PM from the sky miles team that it is not possible to earn reserve boosts then downgrade and earn your platinum boosts, even if the total for that account would be two boosts. Maybe the FT member who claims to have done this was a fluke.
I guess ill I'll keep my normal patterns until I have reduced YTD spend.
