Based on what you wrote, your "Year 1" started in November 2013; hence your first year was Nov2013-Nov2014.
Assuming you haven't dropped down from Platinum at any time - the 10 years must be consecutive - you would now be in "Year 7", Nov19-Nov20.
Let's assume you get your current 560XP up to 600XP this year. That 600XP will be reduced to 300XP in November, when you qualify for "Year 8" which runs from Nov20-Nov21
That 300XP will then further qualify you for "Year 9" in November of next year, and your "Year 9" runs from Nov21-Nov22. As things stand, you would then go into your "Year 9" with no rollover XPs.
As such, you fail to qualify for a 10th consecutive year of Platinum and fail to make Platinum for Life under this strategy, as you only have enough XPs (well, you are even still 40XP short) to obtain 9 years of consecutive platinum.
You are still one year/300XP short of qualifying for Platinum for Life.
