Try calling amex, many people have been offered 50k for $10k spend when upgrading

Alternative 30K bonus sign up link DEAD
 (Go Incognito if the link does not work for you.) Sometimes you have to go thru the entering cc info route, bec. the user id route doesn't work sometimes.

New link - https://www.americanexpress.com/us/small-business/openplatinum/benefit.do?benefitTemplate=template_a&benefitId=open.platinumupdates

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.

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
For the PRG, the card needs to be open for more then a year - I think 13 months to be exact - to be eligible for an upgrade.

CMIIW. It seems that for most HUCA did not help with this offer. There were only a few success stories (of people being denied and then getting it later).

So why bother downgrading back to gold in the first place?

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

does that mean that although it would be waived as that was my signup offer, now that i upgraded and downgraded back to gold ill be charged af immediately vs. at end of year?

Any downside to downgrading directly to Green?
