The rules for membership eligibility in the platinum club aren't quite as clear as they are in some other countries, which is a good thing as I expect those who imagine that they are will be busy fighting each other to the death to keep their membership status. But some are quite sure they belong, quite sure you don't, and want to make sure that is always very clear.
What is the point of membership if it doesn't have its privileges? And what are privileges, but things denied to you?
