I just applied and was approved for the card a few days ago. According to everything Frequent Miler has written, since you automatically receive gold your first year with the Ritz card without $10,000 spend, you only need to reach the minimum $4,000 bonus spend by July 31, 2018 to lock in Platinum status until Feb. 2020. Those who have had the card for more than a year, will need to spend $10,000 by July 31, 2018 to achieve Gold and thereby lock in Platinum until Feb. 2020.
