I've never made a brag post but I'm def a manufactured Plat via Amex. Fortunately I never went hardcore for Diamond so the big 250k exemption won't really hurt me. My stats on the year look like 18 segments, 90,253 mqm, and $1510 mqd. I do a WFBF strat for our annual Jamaica vacation but everything else is coach. I "barely" fly compared to most but having free C+ on international and sky priority for check in are what motivate me to keep my status. If I can ever get to a point where I can simply WFBF I will ditch the game as that would give me everything I want out of status. The upgrade certs are nice too, if they clear.
