LATAM just announced a new category
"Gold Plus" which will be available in the first trimester of 2019:
https://www.latam.com/pt_br/latam-fi...ite/gold-plus/
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..
