no no (unless you're maximizing the 5x on airlines)
Downgrade/close
No you won't be billed, interesting my PP stopped working when I closed my cards, (you can always continue the membership with PP for $27 per visit)

Is this non-premier Gold or Premier Gold?

amex travel fee credit

can someone please confirm that the delta way of buying a trip to tlv and then adding economy comfort plus will trigger the credit? i used to do this with the nyc-lax route.

tried the nyc-tlv route the two charges came up pending then a few days later both dropped off and NO credit applied.

is this way dead?

does the delta gift card $50 4 seperate transactions still work?
-someone said there not going to allow it anymore

is the united thing with adding a pet the best way these days?
how would i do that?

thanks!

Is the POID the correct way to reference the terms of an amex offer?
In the context of discussing/fighting with amex if my targeted offer has the 1 in a life time exclusion or not.
Thanks

My Mercedes Ann fee was due. I called to cancel to ovoid the fee. Rep wasn’t buying it and said she will recind the 60,000 and Dec& Jan airline fees. Obviously I said forget it.
She said and don’t call back because I’m noting the account of our conversation.
Am I screwed? Not worth the chance of chatting or calling another rep?

To green card? If she noted the account, I don’t see why downgrading would lessen the chances of clawback

yes to green.
They usually don’t look at the notes, and even if they do and say they’ll clawback it doesn’t mean that they will.
P.S. I’m not taking responsibility! I’m just sharing my experience!
