I already am a cardholder (reserve) and am pretty sure I hit both boosts this year. It is always difficult getting the boost info from AMEX but I am pretty sure they are both used. Appreciate your insight!
If your flying habits are going to stay the same in 2020, I'd just use the rollover in hopes to achieve platinum part way through 2020 and for all of 2021.
