I got this yesterday. Fell from gold to gate louse due to limited work travel last year (only about 13.5k EQMs, and 2K EQDs0). My offer was $699 (always has been) or 57.5k miles.

Promo to buy up to Platinum Pro using miles
Just received an email with an offer to buy up to PP from Plat using miles or cash. It is 90,000 miles or $1095 cash(Down from $1895 in Jan). I was EP for 6 years and had less travel last year, with it getting harder to get book award flights it's tempting. Wonder how wide spread this promotion will be.

I got an offer for $559 or 56k miles.
I had Gold through January due to a challenge in 2017, with very little activity since then.
I'm not going to take it because I'm flying "first class" from now on due to not being able to stand coach any more, so I wouldn't get much benefit from it anyway.

Is being platinum pro really going to have $1100 value over Platinum? seems very expensive for complimentary domestic upgrades unless doing a hell of a lot of flights
