Does just having the platinum card even if its expired still work for lounge access? Mine is activated but they've swiped it the last few times I've used it.

IIRC it does not have to be active just not expired

Should work in most lounges, but some will try swiping.

I signed up for the Platinum card a few weeks ago...never had one.  this year I have had PRG, Platinum MB and Business Plat. 
From my understanding I can still get the 25k on the consumer Plat.  They are telling me no because I have had a similar product.  Who is right?  HUCA?

MB Platinum and consumer platinum are considered the same product so unless the MB was closed a year ago you wont get the bonus.

Thats funny, they are telling me because of the PRG that I wont get it....this makes sense, for some reason I thought I would get it.  Worth continuing to pester on live chat or leave it alone?

That's another potential reason. Was the PRG closed for at least 90 days before you applied for the Platinum?

With the Platinum card are you put into any other car rental programs other than National?
I am not 100% sure about this. But I am going to click it anyway.

to be clear you may apply for prg or brg upgrade to platinum right after or close wait 90 days and apply for platinum cant have platinum and gold/green at the same time though one can have biz and personal  of the same product
