Damn, I guess even my collection platinum drinks that I have saved for later is almost worth that

And then there are all the rest of the benefits.
Thanks, consider me convinced!

Regarding the vouchers, do their expiry dates refer to when they must be used by, or when the flight they're used on takes place?

I don't have any OW flying scheduled until mid-May, so am debating the merits of upgrading to Plat now vs in a month or so if it means I get another 2 months to fly with my upgrade vouchers.
