There's DROPR, and then there's NEROAPR (Never Ever Rely On Amex Phone Rep).

How about this?
I was told that if I upgrade BGR to Plat, once 24 hours goes by, all spending on the BGR will count as if it is on the plat, and will count toward the min spend. Correct?

To add to that when upgrading from BGR to Plat at what point can i start taking advantage of the 50% rebate? do i have to wait to receive the actual card or is it enough that i upgraded

If I select UA as my airline, what's the easiest way to use the $200 credit?
I've helped many people with this issue using DL, so I hope someone will be kind enough to help me out... ;)
PMs welcome. :)

UA travel bank, you can change your selected airline as often as you want through chat though.
