I'm a current Platinum member who is lacking 30,000 points to obtain Platinum status for another year.
Is there a way to determine an approximate dollar range I would need to spend to acquire the additional 30,000 points?
Thanks in advance for your help.
I'm going to guess that you think you only have until June 30 to renew your Platinum. According to the "About mLife" webpage, you have right up to the day before the new program year begins (i.e. Sep 30) to re-qualify Platinum tier.
Since June 30 represents 75% of the mLife calendar year, you're actually ahead of schedule in accumulating 200,000 total points.
As far as anticipated cost of earning the residual 30,000 points, one would need to know where you play and what you typically play to provide a decent cost estimate (prior to promotional offsets).

I was aware of the Sept. 30th date, but I don't live in Vegas and I can only make 1 more trip. I normally play $1 vp, but to make the 30,000 points I was planning on playing $1 or $5 slots at Bellagio.
Thanks again for your help.

At $10/10 tier pts (the effective video poker tier earn rate for mLife LV properties), you have $30K coin-in to renew your Platinum.
I would think a likely candidate would be the $1 50-plays in the H/L at MGM, where you could take your time and play a single line of $1 9/6 JB, or accelerate things by playing 2 or 3 lines, without "excessive" risk.

In addition, hotel and food bills earn 25 points per dollar spent, so splurging on a nice room and/or some nice dinners can help get you there also.

If you truly mean spend as opposed to wager, spending $1200 on rooms, dining, spa or entertainment options will get you 30,000 Tier if you are in Las Vegas. Mlife gives you 25 Tier per dollar spent in Las Vegas. It gives you less per dollar in its other markets.
I'm not going to get into expected costs since that will vary with a number of factors, but if you want to do it by gambling it would take:
$30,000 coin in on video poker.
$9,000 coin in on slots.
About 13.5 hours of $100/hand blackjack.
Take Care,
Mark
