Platinum is 15k MQD... unless you are able to make the 28k MQD spend this calendar year, you might need to resign yourself to being PLT for a year until you're able to qualify in 2025.
Get all 4 Amex cards (platinum consumer/business and reserve consumer/business). That’s $10k right there. Then spend $180k on a Reserve less the amount you will be spending on flights. So if you will spend $10k on 2024 flights your Reserve spend only needs to be $80k.
