If they don't want to upgrade you then just cancel the card ... simple. No need to raise your blood pressure.
These days it is very easy to get Platinum thus just by virtue of having one doesn't mean anything. An anology about this ... a gold card with classic card level CL .... e.g. a gold card with RM3.5K limit. Or a Platinum with a RM5K limit (Myself is an example).
May I know why is it so important to hold a Platinum card ?
Problem is I have installments in with the bloody PBB credit card. First time heard Gold & Platinum have RM 5k below credit limit. For my case, each level of the credit card got upgraded, it is at least RM 10k extra credit limit.

Well, it is up to their discretion, they don't have to offer you one just because another bank has offered you one.
And as others have said, you can show you're dissatisfaction by terminating your banking relationship with them

The thing is PBB has one of the lowest income requirement for Platinum & I believe CIMB has the same or higher requirement. Somemore I pay promptly & no bad records in CCRIS or whatever. I don't see any reason for rejecting my request seeing this should be the time to preserve customers. Darn, thinking of cancelling but the installments also headache.

Yes ... you need to do full settlement.
Some banks will impose a 'special' cancellation (pay in one short) charges on easy-payment installments. A few SCB officers told me about it. There is a fine line clause on easy payment transactions.
