Big leap from Silver to Gold and Platinum to 1K
Gold to Platinum isn’t too big of a jump (aside from the introduction to PlusPoints) but obviously if you can get Platinum organically without using accelerators etc, still a win
Yes agreed
If gold allows you to avoid same day change fee, yes
Definitely for star gold

Yes.
Economy Plus at booking.
Group 1 boarding.
Priority baggage check-in and receive your luggage first at baggage claim.

Depends how much your mileage run costs, because mileage runs are pretty much a thing of the past. If you’re a few hundred PQPs away, I’d say yes, if you’re a thousand or so away, I’d argue no
A few years ago I booked ORD-SFO-SEA-LAX-ORD for $150 to get gold. Got lucky, heavy fog in SFO and they routed my directly to SEA for the same amount of pqp. Spent 7 hours in the SEA airport lol. Been 1k for a couple years now and laugh at myself for doing it. But still it's worth it I'd say.
