I may be short by 100 SCs to requalify for Platinum this year. However, i have few forward bookings on J after my renewal date. Has anyone had any luck getting QF to give a small extension for Platinum member (have been for 8+ years in a row).

Never, unless they are having a particularly fine day which isn't often. Enjoy GOLD 😆😆

Can't hurt to ask even if the probability is not great. It's a bit of a shame that your rollover wasn't a couple of months earler as Qantas had reduced the number of status credits required for Platinum renewal by 20% if the renewal was before October 1. ref: https://www.qantas.com/au/en/frequent-flyer/status-and-clubs/status/status-support.html
Always worth asking the question to them though - particularly if you have bookings in January. Good luck !
100sc if you are desperate is a quick mileage run. Business class to NZ and back on a sale fare is a good way to do it.
I have never understood the logic behind a "status run" You are basically paying over $1000 to go to NZ for no reason other than to have Platinum rater than gold. Is it really worth that much money simply for the "status" , better lounges and faster check in?

In the last year alone, i have been able to secure 3-4 business class seats released for my family when they did not exist. This alone is worth staying in platinum.
I changed my classic reward flights on american to a paid business/first ticket, and the 4 legs will bring in the additional sc’s i need to get to platinum.

It's not going to be a small extension though. It will be a full-year comped extension.

The forward bookings if shortly after your renewal date should help your cause

Will your life really be sooooooooooo much less worth living with ONLY gold status?
Try flying a bit more next time and you'll remain qualified chief
