LATAM just announced a new category "Gold Plus" which will be available in the first trimester of 2019:

To quality you would need 18.000 points, which is between Gold and Platinum requirements. The new category will have "Ruby" status in OW.

My personal take on that - another utter stupidity on LATAM's side Gold Plus ... really ?? Who is the target audience for this category ? Race to the bottom at full speed..
