platinum status

Highest loyalty level

Platinum status is the highest or second-highest tier in a loyalty program, typically for airlines, hotels, or credit cards.

Members earn it through spending or travel volume and receive premium perks: upgrades, lounge access, priority boarding.

I finally hit platinum status after fifty flights this year.

The term extends to any elite membership level suggesting exclusivity and special treatment.
