The year is ending and I am 7,580 miles short of Executive Platinum ..... I know, bad planning on my part. The buyback amount I have been offered is now down to $1,795. I know I will reach at least 15K in spending next year and I will probably barely hit Plat Pro. Is it worth it to purchase the Executive Platinum?

Update 12/30 - I found a PHL/LAX RT that I could do in First Class for $1,100 on 12/31. Do a mileage run is always a good story too ..... I think this was a perfect solution to get EXPLAT
