Virgin is currently running a special, round trip first class to Japan for under 100k miles. I believe MR points transfer 1:1, so if you were able to secure an Amex platinum with the 100k sub, you could fly for the cost of the AF.
Edit: sorry, just caught what you can afford to spend. You won't be able to hit the sub.

I would love to get the platinum, but isnt there a min spend? Also i have to pay the af upfront (can do if that means getting the 100k points)
Yes, which is why I edited. 5k spend in 90 days and the AF is $550. If your bills added up to $5k, you would be flying to Japan for $550. Also, don't remember how long the Virgin special is, but I doubt it will be around in a month, much less 90 days.

I was curious, would pcing my csp to a csr result in a credit check and af? I just paid the af for the csr
There's no HP for a PC, although they might do a SP depending on your credit line and overall profile.
When you say you just paid the AF for the CSR I'm assuming you meant CSP... in that case they will credit it and charge you the AF for the new account type.
