Q: It's been a few days since I applied and the changes haven't taken effect yet , should I worry?
A: No. That's perfectly normal.


Q: I'm in my first year of my gold card, will I be charged the AF when I downgrade back?
A:
Yes you will


The cheshbon is that you upgrade, get the points, buy the AA GC's do the Platinum Guy's Great Mehalech, then downgrade back or close and get the Annual Fee of the Plat reimbursed. If cancelled within 60 days you get it all back; if more than 60 days it is prorated.

I had a BRG with 5 free AUs and I upgrades to Plat.  It seems the AUs are also Plat.  Am I going to get hit with $175 for the AUs?
tell them to make the AUs a green card

I'm in Israel. At least one AU Plat for my wife to help with the spend will be useful.

Not everyone in the world is Jewish (contrary to popular belief)

Any reports of upgrading a BGR before the signup points post and still getting the points after the card becomes Platinum?

No, after 2 tries. But either with the offer or without, what do you think would happen to the points?

I've been huca-ing to get the upgrade offer, no success to date. Anyone had the offer "found" on their acct the same day they were told it wasn't there, or only a different day? Obviously trying to figure out whether to try multiple hucas in a row or wait till tomorrow

Is it possible to upgrade the personal gold as well to platinum, or only business.

I got my prg in February. They are telling me I'm not eligible for an upgrade
