"Of course, if this is the case, pursuing this angle may result in the ending of your Platinum Club membership as well; and perhaps your general store access."<< Not necessarily true. Though again, it depends a lot on the current internet laws, which are few and far between. But in the real world no company can deny a consumer the right to buy their products or shop in their store. Example... If you sued walmart for something, whether you won the case or not, walmart cannot prevent you from shopping in their store in the future, nor can they use that as a basis for preventing you from becomming an employee in the future. Its against the law.
