The former Platinum was simply renamed Titanium. These are the old and new names, with annual Elite Qualifying Night (EQN) requirements.
Old . . . . . . . . . . . New
Silver . . . . . . . . . Silver (10)
.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . Gold (25)
Gold . . . . . . . . . . Platinum (50)
Platinum . . . . . . Titanium (75)
The lifetime EQN requirements actually increased, not decreased, though the lifetime spend requirements (which had been tougher for me as someone in public service) were eliminated.
Silver (250) . . . . Silver (250)
.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . Gold (400)
Gold (500) . . . . . Platinum (600)
Platinum (750) . Titanium (N/A)
So, yes, no matter how one tries to justify it, some of us did get Bonv°yed.
