I struck out the "this is only applicable in the first year" regarding the qualification tiers. It's applicable in EVERY year. You will have to start from the lowest rung available to you on ANY given year. Getting to Platinum can be a three-year process (if only because, every time you go up in status, your "year" ends automatically, and a new one starts. The concept of a "year" is more flexible in the new FB - it can be a maximum of one year, but it may actually be less).


If you're Ivory, you need 100 + 180 + 300 in three consecutive subsequent "years" to reach Platinum, a year "ending" whenever you cross one of those thresholds.
If you're silver, you start the year needing 180 + 300 in two consecutive subsequent "years" to reach Platinum, a year "ending" whenever you cross one of those thresholds.

etc etc
