I imagine being platinum, you must fly on some business and not all leisure. The 50% mileage qualification is only for economy fares. If you fly on higher fares, you will get 100% elite mileage qualification. You can find all the elite qualification information on Continental's website (under Frequent Flyer) or look here too:

Many of us long time CO frequent flyers are upset with them at the moment. You can probably get them to comp you plat status. Good luck with them.
